Aspartate-tRNA Ligase, Mitochondrial

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** Aspartate-tRNA ligase, mitochondrial (645 aa, ~74 kDa) is encoded by the human DARS2 gene. This protein plays a role in the aminoacylation of transfer RNA(Asp) in the mitochondrion.

**Synonyms:** - AspRS - Aspartate tRNA Ligase 2, Mitochondrial - Aspartate--tRNA Ligase, Mitochondrial - Aspartyl-tRNA Synthetase - Aspartyl-tRNA Synthetase 2 - Aspartyl-tRNA Synthetase 2, Mitochondrial - Aspartyl-tRNA Synthetase, Mitochondrial - DARS2 - EC 6.1.1.12
