gene: gars-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable glycine-tRNA ligase activity and protein dimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in diadenosine tetraphosphate biosynthetic process and mitochondrial glycyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2D and distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type 5A. Is an ortholog of human GARS1 (glycyl-tRNA synthetase 1).
