Summary: Predicted to enable magnesium ion binding activity and phenylalanine-tRNA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in phenylalanyl-tRNA aminoacylation and protein heterotetramerization. Predicted to be part of phenylalanine-tRNA ligase complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; heart; integumental system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human FARSA (phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase subunit alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
