About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for SACS: This gene consists of nine exons including a gigantic exon spanning more than 12.8k bp. It encodes the sacsin protein,which includes a UBQ region at the N-terminus, a HEPN domain at the C-terminus and a DnaJ region upstream of the HEPNdomain. The gene is highly expressed in the central nervous system, also found in skin, skeletal muscles and at lowlevels in the pancreas. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay(ARSACS), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by early-onset cerebellar ataxia with spasticity and peripheralneuropathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found, but the full-lengthnature of these variants has not been determined.(provided by RefSeq) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: SACS_HUMAN, Q9NZJ4Function: Co-chaperone which acts as a regulator of the Hsp70 chaperone machinery and may be involved in the processingof other ataxia-linked proteins Gene Wiki entry for SACS |

Defects in SACS are the cause of autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS)[MIM:270550]. ARSACS is an early onset neurodegenerative disease with high prevalence in theCharlevoix-Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec. It is characterized by absent sensory-nerve conduction, reducedmotor-nerve velocity and hypermyelination of retinal-nerve fibers
