Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP00625
Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 5897
Name Alanine--tRNA ligase, cytoplasmic
Synonyms
  1. AlaRS
  2. Alanine--tRNA ligase
  3. Renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-42
  4. Alanyl-tRNA synthetase
Gene Name AARS
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in nucleotide binding
Specific Function Catalyzes the attachment of alanine to tRNA(Ala) in a two-step reaction: alanine is first activated by ATP to form Ala-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Ala). Also edits incorrectly charged tRNA(Ala) via its editing domain (By similarity).
Pathways
  • Alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism
  • Aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis
  • Lactic Acidemia
  • Primary Hyperoxaluria Type I
  • Pyruvate Carboxylase Deficiency
