Ears2 - glutamyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial Gene

Also Known as mKIAA1970; 3230401I01Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 67417

Summary

This gene encodes a putative member of the class I family of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. These Enzymes play a critical role in protein biosynthesis by charging tRNAs with their cognate Amino acids. This protein is encoded by the nuclear genome but is likely to be imported to the mitochondrion where it is thought to catalyze the ligation of glutamate to tRNA molecules. Mutations in a similar gene in human have been associated with combined Oxidative Phosphorylation deficiency 12 (COXPD12). [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]
