Small ribosomal subunit protein uS2

UniProtKB accession:  G1TLT8

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Required for the assembly and/or stability of the 40S ribosomal subunit (PubMed:23873042, PubMed:25601755). Required for the processing of the 20S rRNA-precursor to mature 18S rRNA in a late step of the maturation of 40S ribosomal subunits (PubMed:23873042, PubMed:25601755). Also functions as a cell surface receptor for laminin (By similarity). Plays a role in cell adhesion to the basement membrane and in the consequent activation of signaling transduction pathways (By similarity). May play a role in cell fate determination and tissue morphogenesis (By similarity). Also acts as a receptor for several other ligands, including the pathogenic prion protein, viruses, and bacteria. Acts as a PPP1R16B-dependent substrate of PPP1CA (By similarity).
