Summary

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 60S subunit. The protein belongs to the L19E family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the RPL19 gene was upregulated as part of the metabolism of RNA pathway in the colon of patients who succumbed to septic shock, as identified through RNA sequencing of post-mortem tissue samples [Pinheiro da Silva et al. DOI:10.1111/jcmm.17938].
