Gene Name WARS
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in nucleotide binding
Specific Function Isoform 1, isoform 2 and T1-TrpRS have aminoacylation activity while T2-TrpRS lacks it. Isoform 2, T1-TrpRS and T2-TrpRS possess angiostatic activity whereas isoform 1 lacks it. T2-TrpRS inhibits fluid shear stress-activated responses of endothelial cells. Regulates ERK, Akt, and eNOS activation pathways that are associated with angiogenesis, cytoskeletal reorganization and shear stress-responsive gene expression.
Pathways
  • Aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis
  • Tryptophan metabolism
