Ribosomal Protein L23 (RPL23) is a protein involved in protein synthesis and ribosome function. It is located in the cytoplasm and participates in critical cellular pathways.
RPL23 is a small basic protein that contacts the 28S rRNA.
RPL23 is a component of the 60S ribosomal subunit located near the polypeptide exit tunnel. It has been shown to have extraribosomal functions including regulation of MDM2 and p53.
Associated with ribosomopathies. May affect neuronal protein synthesis.
No current therapeutic approaches.
The study of Ribosomal Protein L23 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.
