Human ribosomal proteins

Human ribosomal proteins are essential components of ribosomes, the cellular structures responsible for producing proteins. These proteins work alongside ribosomal RNA (rRNA) to form the ribosome's structure and facilitate the translation of genetic instructions into functional proteins. Ribosomal proteins help stabilize the ribosome, assist in binding messenger RNA and transfer RNA, and ensure accurate and efficient protein synthesis. They are vital for cell growth, repair, and overall function, playing a central role in maintaining life at the cellular level. In humans, there are multiple types of ribosomal proteins, each contributing uniquely to this complex and vital process.
