Predicted to enable glycine-tRNA ligase activity and protein dimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in diadenosine tetraphosphate biosynthetic process and mitochondrial glycyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2D and distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type 5A. Is an ortholog of human GARS1 (glycyl-tRNA synthetase 1).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
