YARS2

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: YARS2
  • Official Name: tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase 2
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 51067
  • UniProt: Q9Y2Z4
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein that catalyzes the attachment of tyrosine to tRNA(Tyr). Mutations in this gene are associated with myopathy with lactic acidosis and sideroblastic anemia type 2 (MLASA2). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011].
  • UniProt Summary: Catalyzes the attachment of tyrosine to tRNA(Tyr) in a two-step reaction: tyrosine is first activated by ATP to form Tyr- AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Tyr). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15779907, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17997975}.
