RPS24（ribosomal protein S24），癌症关联基因，基因ID：6229，核糖体是催化蛋白质合成的细胞器，由一个小的40s亚基和一个大的60s亚基组成。这些亚基由4种RNA和大约80种结构上不同的蛋白质组成。这个基因编码一个核糖体蛋白，它是40S亚单位的一个组成部分该蛋白属于核糖体蛋白s24e家族。它位于细胞质中。已发现该基因编码不同亚型的多个转录变体。作为编码核糖体蛋白的典型基因，有多个经过处理的假基因散布在基因组中。该基因突变导致钻石黑扇贫血。[由RefSeq提供，2008年11月]Ribosomes， the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis， consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 40S subunit. The protein belongs to the S24E family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins， there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. Mutations in this gene result in Diamond-Blackfan anemia.
