gene: aars-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable alanine-tRNA ligase activity and aminoacyl-tRNA editing activity. Predicted to be involved in alanyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Expressed widely. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2N; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 29; and trichothiodystrophy. Is an ortholog of human AARS1 (alanyl-tRNA synthetase 1).
