Background
This gene encodes a mitochondrial metalloprotease protein that is a member of the AAA 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. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia 7. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014],
Function
caution:A CDS in the 3'-UTR of SPG7 mRNA had been erroneously identified as a cell matrix adhesion regulator and originally thought to be encoded by the CMAR gene. There is no experimental evidence for the production of endogenous CMAR protein.,disease:Defects in SPG7 are the cause of spastic paraplegia autosomal recessive type 7 (SPG7) [MIM:607259]. Spastic paraplegia is a degenerative spinal cord disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. SPG7 is a complex form. Additional clinical features are cerebellar syndrome, supranuclear palsy, and cognitive impairment, particularly disturbance of attention and executive functions.,function:Putative ATP-dependent protease.,sequence caution:Translated as Glu.,similarity:In the C-terminal section; belongs to the peptidase M41 family.,similarity:In the N-terminal section; belongs to the AAA AT
