    Summary
    Enables methionine-tRNA ligase activity and sequence-specific mRNA binding activity. Involved in methionyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Located in cytoplasmic stress granule. Part of methionyl glutamyl tRNA synthetase complex. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2U and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2U; hereditary spastic paraplegia 70; and trichothiodystrophy. Orthologous to human MARS1 (methionyl-tRNA synthetase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
