GARS

SYNONYMS
Glycine--tRNA ligase, Diadenosine tetraphosphate synthetase, AP-4-A synthetase, Glycyl-tRNA synthetase, GlyRS, GARS, CMT2D, DSMAV, HMN5, SMAD1.

INTRODUCTION
GARS is an (alpha)2 dimer which is a member of the class II family of tRNA synthetases. GARS is a glycyl-tRNA synthetase, one of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases which charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. GARS catalyzes the attachment of glycine to tRNA(Gly). In addition, GARS is able to produce diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A), which is a universal pleiotropic signaling molecule required for cell regulation pathways, by direct condensation of two ATPs. GARS has been demonstrated to be a target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune diseases, polymyositis or dermatomyositis.

DESCRIPTION
GARS Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 270 amino acids (43-289 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 30kDa.
GARS is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
