For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
3D Structure
ModBase 3D Structure for Q9UQ90
Species Reactivity
Human, Mouse
Purity/Purification
SPG7 antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.
Form/Format
Supplied in PBS buffer, pH 7.3, containing 1% BSA, 50% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide.
Concentration
0.5-1 mg/ml (lot specific)
Biological Significance
This gene encodes a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial metalloprotease protein that is a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities) protein family. Members of this protein family share an ATPase domain and have roles in diverse cellular processes including membrane trafficking, intracellular motility, organelle biogenesis, protein folding, and proteolysis. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. Mutations associated with this gene cause autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia 7.
Immunogen
SPG7 antibody was raised in Mouse using Human recombinant protein fragment corresponding to amino acids 300-573 of human SPG7 prodduced in E Coli as the immunogen.
Preparation and Storage
Store at 4 degree C for short term storage. Aliquot and store at -20 degree C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Other Notes
Small volumes of anti-SPG7 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

UniProt Comments for SPG7
SPG7: Putative ATP-dependent zinc metalloprotease. Defects in SPG7 are the cause of spastic paraplegia autosomal recessive type 7 (SPG7). Spastic paraplegia is a degenerative spinal cord disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. SPG7 is a complex form. Additional clinical features are cerebellar syndrome, supranuclear palsy, and cognitive impairment, particularly disturbance of attention and executive functions. Defects in SPG7 may cause autosomal recessive osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Osteogenesis imperfecta defines a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by bone fragility and low bone mass. Clinical features of SPG7-related osteogenesis imperfecta include recurrent fractures, mild bone deformities, delayed tooth eruption, normal hearing and white sclera. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
