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 L32E family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. Although some studies have mapped this gene to 3q13.3-q21, it is believed to map to 3p25-p24. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
A study in rats demonstrated that the RPL32 (RPL32) was one of the most stably expressed reference genes in contused skeletal muscle, with a stability value of 0.2417 in NormFinder and an M value of 1.360 in geNorm [Sun et al. DOI:10.1007/s00414-011-0604-3]. Subsequent research in rats confirmed the RPL32 as a stably expressed reference gene for normalizing the expression of wound-healing mRNAs, where its stable expression underpins the calculation of informative gene expression ratios that enhance the performance of predictive models for wound age estimation [Li et al. DOI:10.1007/s00414-023-03095-x].
