Small ribosomal subunit protein mS38

UniProtKB accession:  P32344

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome), a dedicated translation machinery responsible for the synthesis of mitochondrial genome-encoded proteins, including at least some of the essential transmembrane subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The mitoribosomes are attached to the mitochondrial inner membrane and translation products are cotranslationally integrated into the membrane (PubMed:25609543, PubMed:28154081). mS38 is also involved in the splicing of the COX1 mRNA (PubMed:16339141).
