FARS2, Official Symbol FARS2provided by HGNC Official Full Name phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrialprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:21062 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000145982 MIM:611592; AllianceGenome:HGNC:21062 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as FARS1; PheRS; SPG77; COXPD14; HSPC320; mtPheRS Summary This gene encodes a protein that transfers phenylalanine to its cognate tRNA. This protein localizes to the mitochondrion and plays a role in mitochondrial protein translation. Mutations in this gene can cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 14 (Alpers encephalopathy). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
