Summaries for BSCL2 Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for BSCL2 Gene

  • This gene encodes the multi-pass transmembrane protein protein seipin. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and may be important for lipid droplet morphology. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 2 or Berardinelli-Seip syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by a near absence of adipose tissue and severe insulin resistance. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Naturally occurring read-through transcription occurs between this locus and the neighboring locus HNRNPUL2 (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U-like 2).[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

GeneCards Summary for BSCL2 Gene

BSCL2 (BSCL2, Seipin Lipid Droplet Biogenesis Associated) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with BSCL2 include Spastic Paraplegia 17, Autosomal Dominant and Encephalopathy, Progressive, With Or Without Lipodystrophy. Among its related pathways are Adipogenesis and Glucose / Energy Metabolism.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for BSCL2 Gene

  • Is a regulator of lipid catabolism essential for adipocyte differentiation. May also be involved in the central regulation of energy homeostasis (By similarity). Necessary for correct lipid storage and lipid droplets maintenance; may play a tissue-autonomous role in controlling lipid storage in adipocytes and in preventing ectopic lipid droplet formation in non-adipose tissues.

BSCL2_HUMAN
  • Congenital generalized lipodystrophy 2 (CGL2) [MIM:269700]: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a near complete absence of adipose tissue, extreme insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, hepatic steatosis and early onset of diabetes. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:11479539}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Encephalopathy, progressive, with or without lipodystrophy (PELD) [MIM:615924]: A neurodegenerative disease characterized by developmental regression of motor and cognitive skills in the first years of life, often leading to death in the first decade, hyperactive behavior, seizures, tremor and ataxic gait. Patients may show a mild or typical lipodystrophic appearance. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:23564749}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, 5A (HMN5A) [MIM:600794]: A disorder characterized by distal muscular atrophy mainly affecting the upper extremities, in contrast to other distal motor neuronopathies. These constitute a heterogeneous group of neuromuscular diseases caused by selective degeneration of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord, without sensory deficit in the posterior horn. The overall clinical picture consists of a classical distal muscular atrophy syndrome in the legs without clinical sensory loss. The disease starts with weakness and wasting of distal muscles of the anterior tibial and peroneal compartments of the legs. Later on, weakness and atrophy may expand to the proximal muscles of the lower limbs and/or to the distal upper limbs. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:14981520, ECO:0000269 PubMed:17663003}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Spastic paraplegia 17, autosomal dominant (SPG17) [MIM:270685]: A form of spastic paraplegia, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. Rate of progression and the severity of symptoms are quite variable. Initial symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, muscle spasms, and dragging the toes when walking. In some forms of the disorder, bladder symptoms (such as incontinence) may appear, or the weakness and stiffness may spread to other parts of the body. SPG17 is characterized by prominent amyotrophy of the hand muscles, the presence of mild to severe pyramidal tract signs and spastic paraplegia. SPG17 is a motor neuron disease overlapping with distal spinal muscular atrophy type 5. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:14981520, ECO:0000269 PubMed:17663003, ECO:0000269 PubMed:18585921, ECO:0000269 PubMed:24604904}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
