Asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase, cytoplasmic is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NARS gene.[1][2][3]

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. Asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase is localized to the cytoplasm and belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. The N-terminal domain represents the signature sequence for the eukaryotic asparaginyl-tRNA synthetases.[3]
