Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including kinase inhibitor activity; protein homodimerization activity; and tryptophan-tRNA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including regulation of angiogenesis; regulation of protein modification process; and tryptophanyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleus. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type 9. Orthologous to human WARS1 (tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Expression
Biased expression in Lung (RPKM 100.1), Brain (RPKM 74.7) and 9 other tissues See more

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.
