Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables cytokine activity. Involved in leukocyte migration and positive regulation of glucagon secretion. Located in extracellular space. Part of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase multienzyme complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 3. Orthologous to human AIMP1 (aminoacyl tRNA synthetase complex interacting multifunctional protein 1).
