Ribosomal Protein L23A (Rpl23A) is an important component in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes.
Overview
Ribosomal Protein L23a (RPL23A) is a component of the 60S ribosomal subunit. RPL23A plays a role in protein synthesis and ribosome function. Mutations in RPL23A are linked to Diamond-Blackfan anemia and may affect cellular proliferation and survival. RPL23A has also been implicated in p53 regulation and cellular stress responses. .infobox .infobox-gene { float: right; width: 300px; padding: 10px; background: #f8f9fa; border: 1px solid #ddd; border-radius: 4px; margin: 10px; }

Function
RPL23A encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 60S subunit. The protein is involved in protein synthesis and has been implicated in p53 regulation through MDM2 signaling. RPL23A may also play a role in neuronal development.
Expression
Ubiquitously expressed with highest expression in brain, heart, and skeletal muscle.
Disease Associations
Mutations in RPL23A are associated with Diamond-Blackfan anemia; Ribosomopathy. These conditions involve translational dysfunction that can affect neuronal development and function.
Background
The study of Ribosomal Protein L23A (Rpl23A) has evolved significantly over the past decades. Research in this area has revealed important insights into the underlying mechanisms of neurodegeneration and continues to drive therapeutic development.
Historical context and key discoveries in this field have shaped our current understanding and will continue to guide future research directions.
