Nars Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable CCR3 chemokine receptor binding activity; asparagine-tRNA ligase activity; and protein dimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in asparaginyl-tRNA aminoacylation; cell migration; and cerebral cortex development. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human NARS1 (asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Nars often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
