DARS2 aspartyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial

Gene ID: 55157, updated on 10-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: LBSL; ASPRS; mtAspRS; MT-ASPRS

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. It is a mitochondrial enzyme that specifically aminoacylates aspartyl-tRNA. Mutations in this gene are associated with leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL). [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
