RPS (Ribosomal Protein S)

RPS, or Ribosomal Protein S, refers to a specific group of proteins that are part of the ribosome, the cell's machinery for making proteins. These proteins help maintain the structure and function of ribosomes, ensuring they accurately and efficiently translate genetic information into proteins necessary for cell growth, repair, and overall function. RPS proteins are essential for normal cellular activity; errors or mutations in them can be linked to diseases, including certain types of cancer. In summary, RPS proteins are critical components that support the fundamental process of protein synthesis in cells.
