Summary: Enables several functions, including ATP binding activity; lysine-tRNA ligase activity; and tRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; diadenosine tetraphosphate biosynthetic process; and lysyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Part of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase multienzyme complex. Biomarker of sciatic neuropathy. 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]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
