Cysteine-tRNA Ligase, Mitochondrial

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

**Definition:** Cysteine-tRNA ligase, mitochondrial (564 aa, ~62 kDa) is encoded by the human CARS2 gene. This protein is involved in the aminoacylation of cysteinyl-tRNA(Cys) in the mitochondrion.

**Synonyms:** - CARS2 - CysRS - Cysteine tRNA Ligase 2, Mitochondrial - Cysteine--tRNA Ligase, Mitochondrial - Cysteinyl-tRNA Synthetase - Cysteinyl-tRNA Synthetase 2 - Cysteinyl-tRNA Synthetase 2, Mitochondrial - Cysteinyl-tRNA Synthetase, Mitochondrial - EC 6.1.1.16 - Probable Cysteine--tRNA Ligase, Mitochondrial
