Facts about Receptor of activated protein C kinase 1.
Part of the 40S ribosomal subunit involved in translational repression (PubMed:23636399). Involved from the initiation of the ribosome quality control (RQC), a pathway that happens when a ribosome has stalled during translation, by promoting ubiquitination of a subset of 40S ribosomal subunits (PubMed:28132843).

In the liver, expressed at higher levels in activated hepatic stellate cells than in hepatocytes or Kupffer cells. Up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinomas and in the adjacent non-tumor liver tissue.
Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Nucleus. Perikaryon. Cell projection, dendrite. Cell projection, phagocytic cup. Recruited to the plasma membrane through interaction with KRT1 which binds to membrane-bound ITGB1 (PubMed:17956333). Also associated with the membrane in oncogene-transformed cells (PubMed:11884618). PKC activation induces translocation from the perinuclear region to the cell periphery (PubMed:11279199). In the brain, detected mainly in cell bodies and dendrites with little expression in axonal fibers or nuclei (By similarity).
