About LARS1

Cytogenetic location: 5q32 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:146,113,034-146,182,650 (from NCBI)

This gene has 32 transcripts (splice variants), 207 orthologues, 7 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 24.0), brain (RPKM 19.6) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a cytosolic leucine-tRNA synthetase, a member of the class I Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase family. The encoded Enzyme catalyzes the ATP-dependent ligation of L-leucine to tRNA(Leu). It is found in the cytoplasm as part of a multisynthetase complex and interacts with the arginine tRNA synthetase through its C-terminal domain. A mutation in this gene was found in affected individuals with infantile liver failure syndrome 1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been observed.
