    Summary
    Predicted to enable aspartate-tRNA ligase activity; aspartate-tRNA(Asn) ligase activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in aspartyl-tRNA aminoacylation and mitochondrial asparaginyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; midbrain; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human DARS2 (aspartyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 2024]

    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.
