UniProtKB description: Male germ cell-specific component of the ribosome, which is required for the formation of sperm and male fertility (PubMed:34825148, PubMed:36517592). Replaces the RPL39 paralog in the ribosome of male germ cells (PubMed:36517592). The ribosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell (PubMed:34428590, PubMed:36517592). 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).
