Component of the large ribosomal subunit (PubMed:23636399, PubMed:26100019, PubMed:32669547). The ribosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell (PubMed:23636399, PubMed:26100019, PubMed:32669547). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23636399, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32669547, ECO:0000305|PubMed:26100019}. This is the function of RPL26 (ribosomal protein L26, Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000161970).
