| Gene Symbol | RPS18 |
| Full Name | Ribosomal Protein S18 |
| Function | encodes a conserved ribosomal protein component of the 40S small ribosomal subunit. |
| Subcellular Localization | RPS18 is expressed at high levels throughout the brain, particularly in: - Pyram |
| GeneCards | RPS18 |
| Human Protein Atlas | RPS18 |
| Ribosomal Assembly | RPS18 participates in the early stages of 40S subunit biogenesis in the nucleolus |
| Translation Initiation | The protein contributes to the formation of the pre-initiation complex (PIC) that scans mRNA for start codons |
| tRNA Binding | RPS18 interacts with the A-site of the ribosome, facilitating tRNA accommodation during translation elongation |
| Quality Control | The protein plays a role in the nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway, recognizing premature termination codons |
