RPL (Ribosomal Protein L)

RPL, or Ribosomal Protein L, is a type of protein that is a component of the ribosome, which is the cell's machinery for making proteins. Specifically, RPL proteins are part of the large subunit of the ribosome and help facilitate the assembly of amino acids into proteins based on genetic instructions. They play a crucial role in ensuring proteins are built accurately and efficiently, which is essential for cell function and survival. Understanding RPL proteins helps scientists study how cells grow, reproduce, and respond to their environment.
