Activity summary

RPL32 also known as 60S ribosomal protein L32 is a component of the 60S large ribosomal subunit. Weighing approximately 13.5 kDa RPL32 plays a role in the assembly and function of ribosomes which are essential for protein synthesis. This protein is expressed ubiquitously in various tissues reflecting the constant need for ribosomal function across different cell types.

Biological function summary

Ribosomes are the machinery for translating mRNA into proteins in the cell. RPL32 forms part of the ribosomal complex engaging in the critical process of assembling amino acids into polypeptide chains. By contributing to ribosome stability and efficiency RPL32 ensures the fidelity and throughput of protein synthesis which is important for cellular growth and maintenance.

Pathways

Protein synthesis involves ribosome-mediated translation where RPL32 acts in coordination with other ribosomal proteins and rRNA. It integrates into the translation pathway working with key proteins like RPL10 and RPL5 to facilitate ribosomal activity. The interaction of these proteins influences the performance of ribosomes in synthesizing functional proteins needed for cellular processes including metabolism and stress response.

Associated diseases and disorders

Disruptions in RPL32 function can lead to disease states connected to dysregulated protein synthesis. Research implicates RPL32 in certain malignancies particularly where ribosomal dysfunction contributes to unchecked cellular proliferation. Moreover RPL32 abnormalities show correlation with disorders like Diamond-Blackfan anemia which involves defective ribosomal function. The protein's relationship with other ribosomal constituents such as RPL24 suggests a complex network of interactions that can impact disease outcomes.
