NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a mitochondrial metalloprotease protein that is a member of the AAA 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. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia 7. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]
Uniprot Description
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.

Product Notes
The SPG7 spg7 (Catalog #AAA9410688) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The SPG7 antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's SPG7 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Western blotting: 1:500-1:3000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SPG7 spg7 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "SPG7, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
