Gene symbol DARS1
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DARSHBSLaspRS
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2q21.3
Summary This gene encodes a member of a multienzyme complex that functions in mediating the attachment of amino acids to their cognate tRNAs. The encoded protein ligates L-aspartate to tRNA(Asp). Mutations in this gene have been found in patients showing hypomyel

Protein name Aspartate--tRNA ligase, cytoplasmic (EC 6.1.1.12) (Aspartyl-tRNA synthetase) (AspRS) (Cell proliferation-inducing gene 40 protein)
Protein function Catalyzes the specific attachment of an amino acid to its cognate tRNA in a 2 step reaction: the amino acid (AA) is first activated by ATP to form AA-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of the tRNA.
