GENE INFORMATION

Gene name

MARS (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

CMT2U, MetRS, SPG70

Description

Methionyl-tRNA synthetase (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the class I family of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. These enzymes play a critical role in protein biosynthesis by charging tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The encoded protein is a component of the multi-tRNA synthetase complex and catalyzes the ligation of methionine to tRNA molecules. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]
