Hars2 - histidyl-tRNA synthetase 2 Gene

Also Known as HO3; HARSR; Harsl; 4631412B19Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 70791

Summary

This gene encodes a putative member of the class II 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 histidine to tRNA molecules. Mutations in a similar gene in human have been associated with Perrault syndrome 2 (PRLTS2). [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]
