LARS2 leucyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial

Gene ID: 23395, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HLASA; LEURS; PRLTS4; mtLeuRS

Summary

This gene encodes a class 1 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, mitochondrial leucyl-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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
