Gene: DARS1
Alternate names for this Gene: DARS|HBSL|aspRS
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of a multienzyme complex that functions in mediating the attachment of amino acids to their cognate tRNAs. The encoded protein ligates L-aspartate to tRNA(Asp). Mutations in this gene have been found in patients showing hypomyelination with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and leg spasticity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 2
Location in Chromosome : 2q21.3
Description of this Gene: aspartyl-tRNA synthetase 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
