Background
RPL3, also named as TARBP-B and MGC104284, belongs to the ribosomal protein L3P family. This protein is a component of the 60S subunit. It can bind to the HIV-1 TAR mRNA, and it has been suggested that the protein contributes to tat-mediated transactivation. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome.
