TARS1 threonyl-tRNA synthetase 1

Gene ID: 6897, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TARS; TTD7; ThrRS

Summary

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. Threonyl-tRNA synthetase belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
