SPG21 SPG21 abhydrolase domain containing, maspardin

Gene ID: 51324, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MAST; ACP33; GL010; ABHD21; BM-019

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene binds to the hydrophobic C-terminal amino acids of CD4 which are involved in repression of T cell activation. The interaction with CD4 is mediated by the noncatalytic alpha/beta hydrolase fold domain of this protein. It is thus proposed that this gene product modulates the stimulatory activity of CD4. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia 21 (SPG21), also known as mast syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
