Function

This gene encodes a mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, which catalyzes the attachment of valine to tRNA(Val) for mitochondrial translation. Mutations in this gene cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency-20, and are also associated with early-onset mitochondrial encephalopathies. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014].

gollark: Oh, you're in the terrariolan faction.
gollark: Hi¡
gollark: Mekanism.
gollark: Anyway, I think we should put all the lasers on the underside of some ~y240 sky platform on turtles, spread out to prevent them shooting each other by accident, and with a teleport receiver fed power with a power cell or solar panel.
gollark: No, and because daylight saving they're maybe both wrong.
