Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity; aminoacyl-tRNA ligase activity; and ion binding activity. Predicted to contribute to phenylalanine-tRNA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in phenylalanyl-tRNA aminoacylation and protein heterotetramerization. Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of phenylalanine-tRNA ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FARSB (phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase subunit beta).
