NARS1
Description
The NARS1 gene, located on chromosome 11, plays a critical role in protein synthesis. It encodes a specific type of transfer RNA (tRNA) synthetase, known as asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase. This enzyme is essential for attaching the amino acid asparagine to its corresponding tRNA molecule. This process is crucial for the accurate translation of genetic information from DNA to protein. Without NARS1, cells are unable to produce proteins correctly, potentially leading to a variety of health issues.
