Background Information
SPAST encodes a microtubule-severing protein called spastin. By severing microtubules into small segments, SPAST participates in the regeneration of neurites. Mutations in the SPAST gene (previously known as SPG4) are the most common causes of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP-SPG4). Mammalian cells express at least two spastin isoforms, a less-abundant full-length form (M1-spastin, 68 kDa) and a more highly expressed isoform (M87-spastin, 60 kDa) that lacks the N-terminal 86 amino acids of the full-length protein. Also, there are two additional 64 kDa and 55 kDa isoforms due to alternative splicing of SPG4 exon 4. This antibody recognizes all these isoforms of spastin.
