HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: MRPL33
Cytogenetic location: 2p23.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:27,771,719-27,779,733 (from NCBI)
By sequencing cDNAs obtained from umbilical cord blood CD34 (142230)-positive hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, Mao et al. (1998) identified MRPL33, a homolog of E. coli ribosomal protein L33. The deduced protein contains 65 amino acids.
By radiation hybrid analysis, Mao et al. (1998) mapped the MRPL33 gene to chromosome 2p22.
