Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including protein homodimerization activity; tyrosine binding activity; and tyrosine-tRNA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial tyrosyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myopathy, lactic acidosis, and sideroblastic anemia 2. Orthologous to human YARS2 (tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase 2).

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.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate splice site in an internal exon, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
