    Summary
    Predicted to enable alanine-tRNA ligase activity and aminoacyl-tRNA editing activity. Predicted to be involved in alanyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in adult head; embryonic/larval midgut; and organism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 8 and progressive leukoencephalopathy with ovarian failure. Orthologous to human AARS2 (alanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
