Protein attributes

Sequence length	506 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Catalyzes the attachment of glutamate to tRNA(Glu) in a two-step reaction: glutamate is first activated by ATP to form Glu-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Glu) By similarity.
Catalytic activity	ATP + L-glutamate + tRNA(Glu) = AMP + diphosphate + L-glutamyl-tRNA(Glu).
Subcellular location	Mitochondrion matrix By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family.
