Rars2 - arginyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial

Predicted to enable arginine-tRNA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in arginyl-tRNA aminoacylation and mitochondrial translation. Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; hemolymphoid system; nervous system; respiratory system; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 6. Orthologous to human RARS2 (arginyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial).
