CARS1 - cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase 1 Gene
Also Known as CARS; MDBH; CYSRS; MCDDBH; MGC:11246
Species: Homo sapiens
About CARS1
This gene has 15 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 203 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 69 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 12.8), brain (RPKM 10.8) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a class 1 Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase, cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase. Each of the twenty aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyzes the aminoacylation of a specific tRNA or tRNA isoaccepting family with the cognate amino acid. This gene is one of several located near the imprinted gene domain on chromosome 11p15.5, an important tumor-suppressor gene region. Alterations in this region have been associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Wilms tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, and lung, ovarian and breast cancers. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
