Yars2 - tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase 2

Predicted to enable several functions, including protein homodimerization activity; tyrosine binding activity; and tyrosine-tRNA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial tyrosyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to be located in nuclear body. Predicted to be active in cytosol and mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myopathy, lactic acidosis, and sideroblastic anemia 2. Orthologous to human YARS2 (tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase 2).
