Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including glutamine-tRNA ligase activity; protein kinase binding activity; and protein kinase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including glutaminyl-tRNA aminoacylation; negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and negative regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of apoptotic process. Part of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase multienzyme complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human QARS1 (glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase 1).
