Component of the large ribosomal subunit (PubMed:12962325, PubMed:23636399, PubMed:32669547). The ribosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell (PubMed:12962325, PubMed:23636399, PubMed:32669547). Component of the large ribosomal subunit (PubMed:12962325, PubMed:23636399, PubMed:32669547). Expressed in pancreas, lung, colon, cystic duct, gall bladder, kidney and liver. Expressed at high levels in the well differentiated pancreatic tumor cell lines HPAF, COLO 357 and Capan-1, the moderately differentiated pancreatic tumor cell lines T3M-4, AsPc-1 and BxPc-3, the poorly differentiated pancreatic tumor cell line MIA PaCa-2, and the pancreatic tumor cell lines of undefined differentiation status such as SW979. Expressed at lower levels in the poorly differentiated pancreatic tumor cell lines HCG-25 and PANC-1. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL22 family.
