A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of WARS antibody, Alternative Names: WARS control peptide, WARS antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-WARS Blocking Peptide, Tryptophanyl tRNA Synthetase Blocking Peptide, GAMMA-2 Blocking Peptide, IFI53 Blocking Peptide, IFP53 Blocking Peptide
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first proteins that appeared in evolution. Two forms of tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase exist, a cytoplasmic form, named WARS, and a mitochondrial form, named WARS2. Tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (WARS) catalyzes the aminoacylation of tRNA(trp) with tryptophan and is induced by interferon. Tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase belongs to the class I tRNA synthetase family.
