Gene: NIPA1
Alternate names for this Gene: FSP3|SLC57A1|SPG6
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a magnesium transporter that associates with early endosomes and the cell surface in a variety of neuronal and epithelial cells. This protein may play a role in nervous system development and maintenance. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 6.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 15
Location in Chromosome : 15q11.2
Description of this Gene: NIPA magnesium transporter 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
