The human WBSCR22 protein is involved in the biogenesis of the 40S ribosomal subunits in mammalian cells.

The human WBSCR22 protein was previously shown to be up-regulated in invasive breast cancer and its ectopic expression enhances tumor cell survival in the vasculature. In the current study, we show that the WBSCR22 protein is important for cell growth. Knock-down of WBSCR22 with siRNA results in slo...
