Also known as: sti; Aars
Summary: Enables Ser-tRNA(Ala) hydrolase activity; alanine-tRNA ligase activity; and translation regulator activity. Involved in alanyl-tRNA aminoacylation; regulation of cytoplasmic translational fidelity; and tRNA modification. Acts upstream of or within cerebellar Purkinje cell layer development; negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process; and neuromuscular process controlling balance. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2N and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 29. Orthologous to human AARS1 (alanyl-tRNA synthetase 1).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
