Valyl-tRNA Synthetase
Valyl-tRNA synthetase (ValRS, also known as valine tRNA ligase) is the enzyme responsible for charging tRNA(val) with valine. In humans, ValRS exists in a cytosolic and a mitochondrial form. The cytosolic form is a monomeric 140kDa protein encoded by VARS1 while the mitochondrial form is a slightly smaller monomeric 118kDa protein encoded by VARS2.
