Protein function (UniProt)

Threonine--tRNA ligase, mitochondrial

Catalyzes the attachment of threonine to tRNA(Thr) in a two-step reaction: threonine is first activated by ATP to form Thr-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Thr). Also edits incorrectly charged tRNA(Thr) via its editing domain

Curated MONDO disease pages that list TARS2 among their top associated genes.
