Name

RARS Gene

arginyl-tRNA synthetase

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first proteins that appeared in evolution. Arginyl-tRNA synthetase belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

RNPEPL1 Gene

arginyl aminopeptidase (aminopeptidase B)-like 1

Enables metalloaminopeptidase activity. Involved in proteolysis. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

RNPEP Gene

arginyl aminopeptidase (aminopeptidase B)

Predicted to enable metalloaminopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Located in extracellular exosome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

RARS2 Gene

arginyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
