This gene encodes a class 1 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, mitochondrial leucyl-tRNA synthetase. Each of the twenty aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyzes the aminoacylation of a specific tRNA or tRNA isoaccepting family with the cognate amino acid. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Subcellular Location:
Mitochondrion matrix.
Tissue Specificity:
Ubiquitously expressed, but highest expression in tissues with high metabolic rates, such as skeletal muscle,heart, and kidney.
Similarity:
Belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family.
