A cDNA encoding human ribosomal protein S24

We describe the isolation and nucleotide sequence of a cDNA encoding the human 40S ribosomal subunit protein (r-protein) S24 (Mr 15,425). Human S24 is virtually identical to the r-protein encoded by a cloned Xenopus laevis cDNA previously identified as S19 [Amaldi et al., Gene 17 (1982) 311-316].
