Rars1 - arginyl-tRNA synthetase 1

Enables anion binding activity; arginine-tRNA ligase activity; and tRNA binding activity. Involved in arginyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Part of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase multienzyme complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 9. Orthologous to human RARS1 (arginyl-tRNA synthetase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
