RPL8
Function
Component of the large ribosomal subunit. The ribosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell.
Post-translational modifications
Hydroxylated on His-216 by RIOX1. The modification is impaired by hypoxia.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL2 family.
Cellular localization
- Cytoplasm
Alternative names
