About Mars2

Summary

Predicted to enable methionine-tRNA Ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in methionyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and immune system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined Oxidative Phosphorylation deficiency 25 and spastic ataxia 3. Orthologous to human MARS2 (methionyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial).
