Predicted to be located in ribosome. Predicted to be part of mitochondrial small ribosomal subunit. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 47. Is an ortholog of human MRPS28 (mitochondrial ribosomal protein S28).
Expressed in body wall musculature; germ line; hypodermis; intestine; and pharynx. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Phosducin, N-terminal domain superfamily; Phosducin; Thioredoxin-like superfamily; and Phosducin, thioredoxin-like domain. Is an ortholog of human PDC (phosducin) and PDCL (phosducin like).
