Gene Information
human ... SPAST(6683)
General description
SPAST (spastin) is an ATPase belonging to the AAA (ATPases associated with various cellular activities) family. It is located to chromosome 2p21-p22. It exists mainly in two isoforms, a 68kDa full-length isoform and a 60kDa short form.
Immunogen
Spastin recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
SPAST (spastin) is associated with several cellular processes, such as cell cycle, vesicular transport, mitochondrial function, peroxisome biogenesis and proteolysis. It controls microtubule dynamics in neuronal cells. It binds to microtubules in an ATP-dependent manner to rearrange microtubule distribution and morphology. Mutation in SPAST causes a neurodegenerative disease, hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs). In addition, it also controls membrane trafficking.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Spastin couples microtubule severing to membrane traffic in completion of cytokinesis and secretion.
James W Connell et al.
Traffic (Copenhagen, Denmark), 10(1), 42-56 (2008-11-13)
Mutations in the gene encoding the microtubule (MT)-severing protein spastin are the most common cause of hereditary spastic paraplegia, a genetic condition in which axons of the corticospinal tracts degenerate. We show that not only does endogenous spastin colocalize with

Human molecular genetics, 11(2), 153-163 (2002-01-26)
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is characterized by progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs, caused by the specific degeneration of the corticospinal tracts, the longest axons in humans. Most cases of the autosomal dominant form of the disease are

Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are neurodegenerative diseases caused by mutations in more than 20 genes, which lead to progressive spasticity and weakness of the lower limbs. The most frequently mutated gene causing autosomal dominant HSP is SPG4, which encodes spastin
