Small ribosomal subunit protein eS12

UniProt P25398 Organism Homo sapiens Gene RPS12

Also known as: RPS12

Function

Part of the small subunit (SSU) processome, first precursor of the small eukaryotic ribosomal subunit. During the assembly of the SSU processome in the nucleolus, many ribosome biogenesis factors, an RNA chaperone and ribosomal proteins associate with the nascent pre-rRNA and work in concert to generate RNA folding, modifications, rearrangements and cleavage as well as targeted degradation of pre-ribosomal RNA by the RNA exosome. Subunit of the 40S ribosomal complex (By similarity).
