Aspartyl-tRNA Synthetase 2, Mitochondrial is an enzyme which is encoded by the gene DARS2.[1]

The DARS2 gene is located on the long arm (q) of chromosome 1 on position 25.1, from base pair from base pair 173,821,286 to base pair 173,861,933.[2]

Function

[edit | edit source]

This protein is located in mitochondria which aminoacylates aspartate to its matching tRNA.[3]
