Gene nameMRPL18
Protein nameMitochondrial ribosomal protein L18, isoform CRA_b (cDNA FLJ76688, highly similar to Homo sapiens HSPC071 mRNA)
Large ribosomal subunit protein uL18m (39S ribosomal protein L18, mitochondrial) (L18mt) (MRP-L18)
SynonymsHSPC071
hCG_34030
DescriptionFUNCTION: Together with thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (TST), acts as a mitochondrial import factor for the cytosolic 5S rRNA. The precursor form shows RNA chaperone activity; is able to fold the 5S rRNA into an import-competent conformation that is recognized by rhodanese (TST). Both the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial forms are able to bind to the helix IV-loop D in the gamma domain of the 5S rRNA. .
