Background
This gene encodes a magnesium transporter that associates with early endosomes and the cell surface in a variety of neuronal and epithelial cells. This protein may play a role in nervous system development and maintenance. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 6. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008],
Function
disease:Defects in NIPA1 are the cause of spastic paraplegia autosomal dominant type 6 (SPG6) [MIM:600363]. Spastic paraplegia is a degenerative spinal cord disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs.,sequence caution:Contaminating sequence. Sequence of unknown origin in the N-terminal part.,similarity:Belongs to the NIPA family.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed with highest levels in neuronal tissues.,
