Anti-GARS1 Antibody Picoband®

Glycine—tRNA ligase also known as glycyl–tRNA synthetase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GARS1 gene. This gene encodes glycyl-tRNA synthetase, one of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The encoded enzyme is an (alpha) 2 dimer which belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. It has been shown to be a target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune diseases, polymyositis or dermatomyositis. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

E.coli-derived human GARS1 recombinant protein (Position: E61-D673) . Human GARS1 shares 95.3% and 95.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat GARS1, respectively.
