MRPS23 (Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein S23) is a Protein Coding gene. The MRPS23 gene, located on 17q22, is conserved in chimpanzee, Rhesus monkey, dog, etc. MRPS23 belongs to the mitochondrion-specific ribosomal protein mS23 family. This gene encodes a 28S subunit protein. MRPS23 is involved in breast cancer cell proliferation and metastatic phenotypes of cervical cancer. MRPS23 is a potential therapeutic target for the interference of breast cancer proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Diseases associated with MRPS23 include Colorectal Cancer, Hereditary Nonpolyposis, Type 7, and Chromosome 6Q24-Q25 Deletion Syndrome. MRPS23 is widely expressed in the heart, prostate, and other tissues. Among its related pathways are Organelle biogenesis and maintenance and Mitochondrial translation.
