NCIt definition : Human RPS3 wild-type allele is located within 11q13.4 and is approximately 23 kb in
length. This allele, which encodes 40S ribosomal protein S3, is involved in the initiation
of translation.;
NCIt note : 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. The RPS3 gene encodes a ribosomal
protein that is a component of the 40S subunit. (Entrez Gene);
