60S ribosomal protein L9 is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the RPL9gene.[5][6][7]
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. This gene encodes a
ribosomal protein that is a component of the 60S subunit. The protein belongs to the L6P family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the
cytoplasm. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed
pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. Two
alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[7]
