Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed, including in brain and spinal cord. Isoform 2: Expressed in brain, spinal cord, muscle, heart and spleen. Isoform 1: Expressed in brain, spinal cord, muscle, heart, spleen and liver. |
Function | Catalyzes the ATP-dependent ligation of glycine to the 3'-end of its cognate tRNA, via the formation of an aminoacyl-adenylate intermediate (Gly-AMP). Also produces diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A), a universal pleiotropic signaling molecule needed for cell regulation pathways, by direct condensation of 2 ATPs. Thereby, may play a special role in Ap4A homeostasis. |
