6.1.1.22 malfunction mutations of the mitochondrial asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase cause nonsyndromic deafness and leigh syndrome 746169 6.1.1.22 metabolism asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase is a member of the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, and is responsible for catalyzing the specific aminoacylation of tRNAAsn with asparagine 702933 6.1.1.22 physiological function NARS is one of the important mediators of FGF2 induced survival signaling in osteoblasts through the activation of PI3K/Akt survival pathway 702933 6.1.1.22 physiological function the enzyme induces endothelial cell proliferation, promotes chemotaxis and induces ring formation and tube formation by EA.hy926 cells. The enzyme induces vasodilation in chick embryo chorioallantoic membranes 746194 6.1.1.22 physiological function the enzyme is a highly expressed excretory-secretory molecule which activates interleukin 8 (IL-8) receptors via extracellular domains that are different from those used by IL-8 728271
