RPL23A is a ribosomal protein which is a component of the 60S subunit. Ribosomes， the organelles which 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 different proteins. RPL23A is a member of the L23P family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. Recombinant Human Ribosomal Protein L23A may be one of the target molecules involved in mediating growth inhibition by interferon. The corresponding protein binds to a specific site on the 26S rRNA in yeast.
