Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes glycyl-tRNA synthetase, one of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The encoded enzyme is an (alpha)2 dimer which belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. It has been shown to be a t

Protein name Glycine--tRNA ligase (EC 6.1.1.14) (Diadenosine tetraphosphate synthetase) (Ap4A synthetase) (EC 2.7.7.-) (Glycyl-tRNA synthetase) (GlyRS) (Glycyl-tRNA synthetase 1)
Protein function Catalyzes the ATP-dependent ligation of glycine to the 3'-end of its cognate tRNA, via the formation of an aminoacyl-adenylate intermediate (Gly-AMP) (PubMed:17544401, PubMed:24898252, PubMed:28675565). Also produces diadenosine tetraphosphate (
