28S ribosomal RNA
28S ribosomal RNA is the structural RNA for the large component, or large subunit (LSU) of eukaryotic cytoplasmic ribosomes, and thus one of the basic components of all eukaryotic cells.[1] It is the eukaryotic nuclear homologue of the prokaryotic 23S ribosomal RNA.
The genes coding for 28S rRNA are referred to as 28S rDNA. The Sequences from these genes are sometimes used in molecular analysis to construct phylogenetic trees.[2]
