Gene Symbol:

VARS2 Homo sapiens

Full name:

valyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial

Synonyms:

COXPD20, VALRS, VARS2L, VARSL, valine--tRNA ligase, mitochondrial, valine tRNA ligase 2, mitochondrial (putative), valyl-tRNA synthetase like

Genomic Location:

Chr 6: 30989961-31002212

Description:

This gene encodes a mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, which catalyzes the attachment of valine to tRNA(Val) for mitochondrial translation. Mutations in this gene cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency-20, and are also associated with early-onset mitochondrial encephalopathies. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multipl...

This gene encodes a mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, which catalyzes the attachment of valine to tRNA(Val) for mitochondrial translation. Mutations in this gene cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency-20, and are also associated with early-onset mitochondrial encephalopathies. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
