basic FUNCTION
  • mitochondrial proteins biosynthesis
  • ribosomal structure and biogenesis
  • involved in 5S rRNA import into human mitochondria
  • cytosolic MRPL18 incorporates into the 80S ribosome and facilitates ribosome engagement on mRNAs selected for translation during stress
  • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, translation/synthesis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component component of the large subunit (39S) of the mitochondrial ribosome, including two RNA molecules and, at least, 70 MRPs among which 47 proteins for the large subunit
