Nars2 - asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase 2 (mitochondrial)(putative)

Predicted to enable asparagine-tRNA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in asparaginyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in embryo; extraembryonic component; and primitive endoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 94 and combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 24. Orthologous to human NARS2 (asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
