Gene: YARS2

Alternate names for this Gene: CGI-04|MLASA2|MT-TYRRS|TYRRS

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein that catalyzes the attachment of tyrosine to tRNA(Tyr). Mutations in this gene are associated with myopathy with lactic acidosis and sideroblastic anemia type 2 (MLASA2).

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12p11.21

Description of this Gene: tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
