SPG11 vesicle trafficking associated, spatacsin

El SPG11 gene provides instructions for making the protein spatacsin. Spatacsin is active (expressed) throughout the nervous system, although its exact function is unknown. Researchers speculate that it may help control the activity of particular genes (gene expression) or play a role in the transport (trafficking) of proteins. Spatacsin may also be involved in the maintenance of axons, which are specialized extensions of nerve cells (neurons) that transmit impulses throughout the nervous system.
