nucleolar protein

Nucleolar proteins are specialized molecules found in the nucleolus, a small structure inside cell nuclei. The nucleolus is mainly responsible for producing and assembling ribosomes, the cell's protein factories. These proteins help organize and facilitate the process of building ribosomes by assisting in the synthesis and processing of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and the assembly of ribosomal subunits. Their proper function is essential for healthy cell growth and protein production, making nucleolar proteins crucial for overall cellular activity and function.
