Description

Predicted to enable glycine-tRNA ligase activity. Acts upstream of or within swimming behavior; synaptic assembly at neuromuscular junction; and translation. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior neural keel; central nervous system; digestive system; heart; and segmental plate. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2D and autosomal dominant distal hereditary motor neuronopathy 5. Orthologous to human GARS1 (glycyl-tRNA synthetase 1).
