YARS2


Description

The YARS2 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase 2 (YARS2). This enzyme plays a crucial role in protein synthesis by attaching the amino acid tyrosine to its corresponding transfer RNA (tRNA). This process, known as tRNA charging, is essential for the accurate translation of genetic code into functional proteins. Mutations in the YARS2 gene can disrupt this delicate process, leading to various health complications.
