Enables methionine-tRNA ligase activity. Involved in methionyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Located in mitochondrion. Part of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase multienzyme complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2U; hereditary spastic paraplegia 70; and trichothiodystrophy.
