EPRS1 encodes glutamyl-prolyl-tRNA synthetase 1 (1,512 aa). Multifunctional protein which primarily functions within the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase multienzyme complex, also known as multisynthetase complex. Highest expression in Cells Cultured fibroblasts (176.6 TPM) and Cells EBV-transformed lymphocytes (122.6 TPM).
Leukodystrophy, hypomyelinating, 15 is associated with mutations in the EPRS1 gene on chromosome 1.
EPRS1 is classified as a druggable target (Druggable Genome and Enzyme categories) with score 17.4.
Genetic testing for EPRS1 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
