ASPH
Description
The ASPH gene, also known as aspartyl-tRNA synthetase, plays a crucial role in protein synthesis by attaching the amino acid aspartic acid to its corresponding tRNA molecule. This process is essential for the production of all proteins, including those involved in cell division and growth. ASPH mutations can disrupt this process, leading to errors in protein synthesis and potentially contributing to the development of cancer.

ASPH is a highly conserved gene, meaning it has remained relatively unchanged throughout evolution. This suggests its crucial role in cellular function.
