RARS1 arginyl-tRNA synthetase 1

Gene ID: 5917, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HLD9; RARS; ArgRS; DALRD1

Summary

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first proteins that appeared in evolution. Arginyl-tRNA synthetase belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
