Gene Symbol:

VARS Homo sapiens

Full name:

valyl-tRNA synthetase

Synonyms:

G7A, NDMSCA, VARS1, VARS2, valine--tRNA ligase, protein G7a, valRS, valine tRNA ligase 1, cytoplasmic, valyl-tRNA synthetase 2

Genomic Location:

Chr 6: 31853274-31871691

Description:

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first proteins that appeared in evolution. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to class-I aminoacyl-...

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first proteins that appeared in evolution. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family and is located in the class III region of the major histocompatibility complex.
