MRPS34 encodes mitochondrial ribosomal protein S34 (218 aa). Required for mitochondrial translation, plays a role in maintaining the stability of the small ribosomal subunit and the 12S rRNA that are required for mitoribosome formation Highest expression in Cells EBV-transformed lymphocytes (155.2 TPM) and Cells Cultured fibroblasts (140.7 TPM).
Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 32 is associated with mutations in the MRPS34 gene on chromosome 16.
MRPS34 is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for MRPS34 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
