General annotation (Comments)

Function

May play a role as a negative regulatory factor in CD4-dependent T-cell activation. Ref.1

Subunit structure

Interacts with CD4. Interacts with ALDH16A1. Ref.1 Ref.10

Subcellular location

Cytoplasmcytosol. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Endosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Golgi apparatustrans-Golgi network membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note: Partially localized in the cytosol but also accumulated on an intracellular vesicular compartment. Colocalizes with CD4 on endosomal/trans-Golgi network. Ref.1

Tissue specificity

Expressed in all tissues tested, including heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Expressed in JCaM1.6, HUT 78 and HeLa cell lines (at protein level). Ref.1

Involvement in disease

Defects in SPG21 are the cause of spastic paraplegia autosomal recessive type 21 (SPG21) [MIM:248900]; also known as Mast syndrome. 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 weakness and stiffness may spread to other parts of the body. SPG21 is associated with dementia and other central nervous system abnormalities. Subtle childhood abnormalities may be present, but the main features develop in early adulthood. The disease is slowly progressive, and cerebellar and extrapyramidal signs are also found in patients with advanced disease. Patients have a thin corpus callosum and white-matter abnormalities. Ref.8

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily.
