Gene information for FARSA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2193
Official gene symbolFARSA
Full namephenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase, alpha subunit
Aliases,CML33,FARSL,FARSLA,FRSA,PheHA,
Gene summaryAminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. This gene encodes a product which is similar to the catalytic subunit of prokaryotic and Saccharomyces cerevisiae phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetases (PheRS). This gene product has been shown to be expressed in a tumor-selective and cell cycle stage- and differentiation-dependent manner, the first member of the tRNA synthetase gene family shown to exhibit this type of regulated expression [provided by RefSeq]
