{"symbol":"RARS2","synonyms":["DALRD2","RARSL","PCH6","DJ382I10.6","PRO1992"],"name":"arginyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial","description":"This nuclear gene encodes a protein that localizes to the mitochondria, where it catalyzes the transfer of L-arginine to its cognate tRNA, an important step in translation of mitochondrially-encoded proteins. Defects in this gene are a cause of pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 6 (PCH6). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
