Farsa Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; phenylalanine-tRNA ligase activity; and tRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in phenylalanyl-tRNA aminoacylation; protein heterotetramerization; and synaptonemal complex assembly. Predicted to be located in central element and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of phenylalanine-tRNA ligase complex. Orthologous to human SYCE2 (synaptonemal complex central element protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 rat Farsa often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
