Predicted to enable valine-tRNA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in valyl-tRNA aminoacylation. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 20. Orthologous to human VARS2 (valyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial).
