GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

? »

Gene name

DARS2

Description

aspartyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial

Protein class

Enzymes, Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. It is a mitochondrial enzyme that specifically aminoacylates aspartyl-tRNA. Mutations in this gene are associated with leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL). [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
