RPS17（ribosomal protein S17），癌症关联基因，基因ID：6218，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。这些亚基由四种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s17e家族，位于细胞质中。该基因突变导致钻石黑扇贫血4该基因的选择性剪接导致多个转录变体。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。[由RefSeq提供，2014年4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 four 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 S17E family of ribosomal proteins and is located in the cytoplasm. Mutations in this gene cause Diamond-Blackfan anemia 4. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins， there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. [provided by RefSeq， Apr 2014]。
