Symbol: rps-23 Name: Ribosomal Protein, Small subunit Entrez gene ID: 178188 Ensembl gene ID: F28D1.7 Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239) Functional description: Protein RPS-23; 40S ribosomal protein S23 [Source:UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot;Acc:Q19877] [Ensembl]; rps-23 encodes a small ribosomal subunit S23 protein; by homology, RPS-23 is predicted to function in protein biosynthesis; in C. elegans, RPS-23 activity is required for germline development, vulval morphogenesis, and the overall health of the animal. [WormBase] Observation: RNA interference increased mean lifespan by 126%. Assays: Classification: Aging Relevance Analysis/Source: Homologs Edit \ Update (Admin) | Delete |
