Summary
Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial translation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; early conceptus; gonad; and limb bud. Orthologous to human MRPL40 (mitochondrial ribosomal protein L40).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
