Spastic paraplegia 12, autosomal dominant

A form of spastic paraplegia, 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.

Functions in nuclear protein import as an adapter protein for nuclear receptor KPNB1. Binds specifically and directly to substrates containing either a simple or bipartite NLS motif. Docking of the importin/substrate complex to the nuclear pore complex (NPC) is mediated by KPNB1 through binding to nucleoporin FxFG repeats and the complex is subsequently translocated through the pore by an energy requiring, Ran-dependent mechanism. At the nucleoplasmic side of the NPC, Ran binds to importin-beta

SPG88 is characterized by onset of symptoms in the first year of life. Most SPG88 patients have a pure form of the disorder, although rarely patients may manifest additional features, including peripheral neuropathy, speech delay, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, and non-specific brain imaging abnormalities.

Palmitoyl thioesterase specifically expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum of neurons. Modulates the trafficking of the glutamate receptor, AMPAR, to plasma membrane through depalmitoylation of GRIA1 (PubMed:30135643). Also regulates AMPR trafficking through the regulation of SACM1L phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphatase activity by interaction in a malonyl-CoA dependent manner (By similarity).
