UniProtKB description: Testis-specific component of the ribosome, which is required for the transition from prophase to metaphase in male meiosis I (PubMed:28502657). Compensates for the inactivated X-linked RPL10 paralog during spermatogenesis (PubMed:28502657). The ribosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell (PubMed:28502657). The male germ cell-specific ribosome displays a ribosomal polypeptide exit tunnel of distinct size and charge states compared with the classical ribosome (PubMed:36517592). It is responsible for regulating the biosynthesis and folding of a subset of male germ-cell-specific proteins that are essential for the formation of sperm (PubMed:36517592).
