Summary

VARS2 (valyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial, HGNC:21642) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6p21.33, encoding Valine–tRNA ligase, mitochondrial (Q5ST30). Catalyzes the attachment of valine to tRNA(Val) in a two-step reaction: valine is first activated by ATP to form Val-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Val). It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 64.5% of cell lines).

This gene encodes a mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, which catalyzes the attachment of valine to tRNA(Val) for mitochondrial translation. Mutations in this gene cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency-20, and are also associated with early-onset mitochondrial encephalopathies. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
