description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable tryptophan-tRNA ligase activity. Acts upstream of or within vasculogenesis. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; ear; genitourinary system; and skeleton. Orthologous to human WARS2 (tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced mutation exhibit decreased body fat mass, cardiomyopathy, and progressive hearing loss. [provided by MGI curators] |
