Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables proline-tRNA ligase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to insulin stimulus; prolyl-tRNA aminoacylation; and regulation of long-chain fatty acid import into cell. Located in plasma membrane. Part of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase multienzyme complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; axial skeleton; cerebellum; craniocervical region bone; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 15. Orthologous to human EPRS1 (glutamyl-prolyl-tRNA synthetase 1).
