Ribosomal 60S subunit protein L7B; required for processing of 27SA3 pre-rRNA to 27SB pre-rRNA during assembly of large ribosomal subunit; depletion leads to a turnover of pre-rRNA; contains a conserved C-terminal Nucleic acid Binding Domain (NDB2); binds to Domain II of 25S and 5.8S rRNAs; homologous to mammalian ribosomal protein L7 and bacterial L30; RPL7B has a paralog, RPL7A, that arose from the whole genome duplication
