Function | Catalyzes the attachment of alanine to tRNA(Ala) in a two-step reaction: alanine is first activated by ATP to form Ala- AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Ala). Also edits incorrectly charged tRNA(Ala) via its editing domain. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03133}. |
Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03133}. |
