lars-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable leucine-tRNA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in leucyl-tRNA aminoacylation and mitochondrial translation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Expressed in body wall musculature; intestine; and neurons. Used to study Perrault syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Perrault syndrome. Is an ortholog of human LARS2 (leucyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial).
