Fars2 - phenylalanine-tRNA synthetase 2 (mitochondrial)

Predicted to enable phenylalanine-tRNA ligase activity and tRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in phenylalanyl-tRNA aminoacylation and tRNA processing. Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 14 and hereditary spastic paraplegia 77. Orthologous to human FARS2 (phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
