QuickView for FARS2 (gene)

Gene Symbol:

FARS2 Homo sapiens

Full name:

phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial

Synonyms:

COXPD14, FARS1, HSPC320, PheRS, SPG77, phenylalanine--tRNA ligase, mitochondrial, dJ236A3.1 (phenylalanine-tRNA synthetase), dJ520B18.2 (FARS1 (phenylalanine-tRNA synthetase)), mitochondrial PHERS, phenylalanine tRNA ligase 2, mitochondrial, phenylalanine translase, phenylalanine-tRNA synthetase 1 (mitochondrial)

Genomic Location:

Chr 6: 5206583-5716815

Description:

This gene encodes a protein that transfers phenylalanine to its cognate tRNA. This protein localizes to the mitochondrion and plays a role in mitochondrial protein translation. Mutations in this gene can cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 14 (Alpers encephalopathy). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
