Ribosomal Proteins Categories.
 |
Peptide Elongation Factors - Protein factors uniquely required during the elongation phase of protein synthesis. |
|
Peptide Initiation Factors - Protein factors uniquely required during the initiation phase of protein synthesis in GENETIC TRANSLATION. |
|
Peptide Termination Factors - Proteins that are exclusively involved in the termination reactions of protein synthesis on the ribosome. |
|
Ribosomal Protein S6 - A ribosomal protein that may play a role in controlling cell growth and proliferation. It is a major substrate of RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN S6 KINASES and plays a role in regulating the translation (TRANSLATION, GENETIC) of RNAs that contain an RNA 5' TERMINAL OLIGOPYRIMIDINE SEQUENCE. |
