Spg11 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including axo-dendritic transport; axonogenesis; and synaptic vesicle transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including axonogenesis; cholesterol efflux; and vacuole organization. Located in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2X; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 5; and hereditary spastic paraplegia 11. Orthologous to human SPG11 (SPG11 vesicle trafficking associated, spatacsin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Spg11 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
