Function | Catalyzes the attachment of tryptophan to tRNA(Trp) in a two-step reaction: tryptophan is first activated by ATP to form Trp-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of the tRNA(Trp). Isoform 1: Has no angiostatic activity. T2-TrpRS: Possesses an angiostatic activity but has no aminoacylation activity. 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. Isoform 2: Has an angiostatic activity. |
