RPS7 Gene

🧬 Gene Info

Gene Symbol	RPS7
Aliases	Ribosomal Protein S7
Chromosome	2p25.3
Function	encodes a protein of 194 amino acids.
Primary Expression	neurons and glial cells, contributing to synaptic protein synthesis and neuronal homeostasis
Molecular Weight	22.5 kDa
Amino Acids	194 aa
Ensembl ID	ENSG00000171863
GeneCards	RPS7
Human Protein Atlas	RPS7
Ribosomal Stress Response	When ribosome assembly is impaired, excess RPS7 binds MDM2
p53-Dependent Apoptosis	This leads to p53 activation and removal of cells with ribosomal defects
Prevention of Transformation	The pathway prevents the accumulation of cells with genomic instability
Bone marrow	Active hematopoiesis requires high protein synthesis
Proliferating cells	Cell division requires increased translational capacity
Associated Diseases	neurodegeneration
Databases	GeneCards UniProt NCBI Gene HPA STRING
