| Gene Symbol | RPL18 |
| Function | RPL18 is a component of the 60S ribosomal subunit involved in protein synthesis. |
| Primary Expression | neurons and glial cells, with high expression in hippocampus and [cereb |
| Ensembl ID | ENSG00000109180 |
| GeneCards | RPL18 |
| Human Protein Atlas | RPL18 |
| Synaptic protein synthesis deficits | RPL18 dysfunction reduces the capacity for activity-dependent synaptic protein synthesis |
| Local translation impairment | Dendritic and axonal local translation, essential for synaptic plasticity, is compromised |
| Receptor trafficking disruptions | Synaptic receptor expression and cycling require ongoing protein synthesis |
