    Summary
    Predicted to enable alanine-tRNA ligase activity and aminoacyl-tRNA editing activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial alanyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 8 and progressive leukoencephalopathy with ovarian failure. Orthologous to human AARS2 (alanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
