Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; nervous system; respiratory system; and urinary system. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2D. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2D and autosomal dominant distal hereditary motor neuronopathy 5. Orthologous to human GARS1 (glycyl-tRNA synthetase 1).
