Gene symbol

Name

Function

RPS5

Ribosomal protein S5

Ribosomal protein that is a component of the 40S subunit, belongs to the S7P family of ribosomal proteins

RPS19

Ribosomal protein S19

Ribosomal protein that is a component of the 40S subunit, belongs to the S19E family of ribosomal proteins

HPRT

Hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase

Purine metabolism, salvage of purines from degraded RNA

HNRNPH

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H

RNA-binding protein that forms a complex with heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). These proteins are associated with pre-mRNAs in the nucleus and appear to influence pre-mRNA processing and other aspects of mRNA metabolism and transport

RPL8

Ribosomal protein L8

Ribosomal protein that is a component of the 60S subunit which catalyzes protein synthesis

GAPDH

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase

Enzyme in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathway

B2M

β-2-Microglobulin

Beta chain of MHC class I molecules

SRPR

Signal recognition particle receptor

Ensures, in conjunction with the signal recognition particle, the correct targeting of the nascent secretory proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane system

GUSB

β-glucuronidase

Role in degradation of dermatan and keratin sulphates
