arginyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial

Symbol

RARS2 (may also be known as: None)

Organism

Human

Description

The protein encoded by this gene is an arginyl-tRNA synthetase that is found in the mitochondrial matrix. Defects in this gene are a cause of pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 6 (PCH6). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
