Gene information for FARS2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10667
Official gene symbolFARS2
Full namephenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial
Aliases,FARS1,HSPC320,PheRS,dJ520B18.2,
Gene summaryAminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. This gene encodes a phenylalanine-tRNA synthetase (PheRS) localized to the mitochondrion which consists of a single polypeptide chain, unlike the (alpha-beta)2 structure of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cytoplasmic forms of PheRS. Structure analysis and catalytic properties indicate mitochondrial PheRSs may constitute a class of PheRS distinct from the enzymes found in prokaryotes and in the eukaryotic cytoplasm.
