FARS2( Human )
phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial
Alias
COXPD14|FARS1|HSPC320|PheRS|SPG77
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. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016].
