    Summary
    Predicted to enable alanine-tRNA ligase activity and aminoacyl-tRNA editing activity. Predicted to be involved in alanyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; embryonic dorsal epidermis; embryonic head epidermis; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; and mesoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2N; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 29; leukodystrophy; and trichothiodystrophy. Orthologous to human AARS1 (alanyl-tRNA synthetase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
