About KARS1

Cytogenetic location: 16q23.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 16:75,627,724-75,647,665 (from NCBI)

This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 226 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 8 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 57.5), lymph node (RPKM 40.9) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate Amino acids. Lysyl-tRNA synthetase is a homodimer localized to the cytoplasm which belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. It has been shown to be a target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune diseases, polymyositis or dermatomyositis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
