Description
Feline large ribosomal subunit protein eL24 (RPL24) is a key component of the 60S ribosomal subunit, essential for protein synthesis. In cats, RPL24 helps stabilize ribosome structure and supports translation reinitiation on mRNAs containing upstream open reading frames (uORFs). This protein is critical for proper ribosome assembly and function, influencing cellular growth and development. Additionally, RPL24 is involved in stress responses and may regulate gene expression through its role in translation control
