Anti-DARS2 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated
Product Specifications
Background
DARS2 contains conserved residues involved in ATP binding, tRNA binding, and aspartic acid recognition, as well as catalytic site motifs characteristic of amino acid tRNA synthetases. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. It is a mitochondrial enzyme that specifically aminoacylates aspartyl-tRNA. Mutations in this gene are associated with leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL) . The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the DARS2 gene to chromosome 1.

Function
Citrate transporter that mediates the exchange of mitochondrial citrate for cytosolic malate. Also able to mediate the exchange of citrate for isocitrate, phosphoenolpyruvate, cis- but not trans-aconitate and to a lesser extend maleate and succinate. Important for the bioenergetics of hepatic cells as it provides a carbon source for fatty acid and sterol biosyntheses, and NAD+ for the glycolytic pathway. Required for proper neuromuscular junction formation (Probable) .
