About Kars

Summary

Enables scaffold protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; diadenosine tetraphosphate biosynthetic process; and lysyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Located in mitochondrion. Part of Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase multienzyme complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; cranium; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease recessive intermediate B and autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 89. Orthologous to human KARS1 (lysyl-tRNA synthetase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
