Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 244141 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable asparagine-tRNA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in asparaginyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in embryo; extraembryonic component; and primitive endoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 94 and combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 24. Orthologous to human NARS2 (asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased embryo size, a rudimentary egg cylinder, failure of primitive streak formation, absent primitive node and head folds, failure to gastrulate, and complete lethality prior to organogenesis.
