Background
This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities) protein family. Members of this protein family share an ATPase domain and have roles in diverse cellular processes including membrane trafficking, intracellular motility, organelle biogenesis, protein folding, and proteolysis. The encoded ATPase may be involved in the assembly or function of nuclear protein complexes. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. Other alternative splice variants have been described but their full length sequences have not been determined. Mutations associated with this gene cause the most frequent form of autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 4. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
alternative products:Alternative promoter usage of a cryptic promoter in exon 1 can direct the synthesis of N-terminally truncated isoforms, which may also arise from alternative initiation,catalytic activity:ATP + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate.,developmental stage:Expressed in fetal brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, skeletal muscle, spleen and thymus.,disease:Defects in SPAST are the cause of spastic paraplegia autosomal dominant type 4 (SPG4) [MIM:182601]. Spastic paraplegia is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. Rate of progression and the severity of symptoms are quite variable. Initial symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, muscle spasms, and dragging the toes when walking. In some forms of the disorder, bladder symptoms (such as incontinence) may appear, or the w
