Primary Identifier | MGI:1924908 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 231855 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including late endosome to Golgi transport; lysosomal protein catabolic process; and vacuole organization. Is active in lysosome. Used to study hereditary spastic paraplegia 48. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia and hereditary spastic paraplegia 48. Orthologous to human AP5Z1 (adaptor related protein complex 5 subunit zeta 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit late-onset gait abnormalities, axon degeneration in the corticospinal tract, altered Golgi apparatus morphology, and impaired autophagy with an increase of autophagosomes and autolysosomes and accumulation of intracellular waste in neurons.
