Summary: A structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in cytoplasmic translation. Located in cytosolic ribosome and nucleolus. Colocalizes with nuclear chromosome. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; adult heart; embryonic/larval fat body; embryonic/larval salivary gland; and ovary. Orthologous to human RPL8 (ribosomal protein L8).
