Aspartyl-tRNA synthetase, cytoplasmic is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DARS gene.[3][4]

Aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (DARS) is part of a multienzyme complex of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Aspartyl-tRNA synthetase charges its cognate tRNA with aspartate during protein biosynthesis.[4]

Clinical signficance

Mutations in DARS have been identified as the cause of leukoencephalopathy, hypomyelination with brain stem and spinal cord involvement and leg spasticity (HBSL).[5]
