gene: rars-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable arginine-tRNA ligase activity. Involved in determination of adult lifespan; regulation of gene expression; and translation. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 9. Is an ortholog of human RARS1 (arginyl-tRNA synthetase 1).
