Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Required for rRNA maturation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19061985}.
 
Subunit: Binds IPO9 with high affinity (PubMed:11823430). Interacts with NEK6 (PubMed:20873783). Interacts with DESI2 (PubMed:28483520). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11823430, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20873783, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28483520}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14654843, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20873783}. Note=Colocalizes with NEK6 in the centrosome. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20873783}.
Ptm: Phosphorylated by NEK6. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20873783}.
Ptm: Ubiquitinated. Deubiquitinated by DESI2, leading to its stabilization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28483520}.
Disease: Diamond-Blackfan anemia 8 (DBA8) [MIM:612563]: A form of Diamond-Blackfan anemia, a congenital non-regenerative hypoplastic anemia that usually presents early in infancy. Diamond-Blackfan anemia is characterized by a moderate to severe macrocytic anemia, erythroblastopenia, and an increased risk of malignancy. 30 to 40% of Diamond-Blackfan anemia patients present with short stature and congenital anomalies, the most frequent being craniofacial (Pierre- Robin syndrome and cleft palate), thumb and urogenital anomalies. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19061985}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity: Belongs to the eukaryotic ribosomal protein eS7 family. {ECO:0000305}.
