Function
Required for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) network formation, shaping and remodeling. May enhance the cell surface expression of odorant receptors.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Detected in brain, heart and skeletal muscle, and at low levels in placenta, kidney and pancreas. Expressed in circumvallate papillae
Disease Association: Spastic paraplegia 72A, autosomal dominant (SPG72A) : A form of spastic paraplegia, 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 weakness and stiffness may spread to other parts of the body. SPG72A is a pure form of spastic paraplegia with onset of difficulty walking and stiff legs associated with hyperreflexia and extensor plantar responses in early childhood. Some patients may have pes cavus or sphincter disturbances. Cognition, speech, and ocular function are normal.
