Predicted to enable tryptophan-tRNA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in tryptophanyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type 9. Is an ortholog of human WARS1 (tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase 1).
Predicted to enable tryptophan-tRNA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial tryptophanyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial matrix. Used to study obesity. Is an ortholog of human WARS2 (tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial).
