Function

FUNCTION: Protein with chaperone functions important for the control of protein folding, processing, stability and localization as well as for the reduction of misfolded protein aggregates. Involved in the regulation of synaptic vesicle recycling, controls STON2 protein stability in collaboration with the COP9 signalosome complex (CSN). In the nucleus, may link the cytoskeleton with the nuclear envelope, this mechanism seems to be crucial for the control of nuclear polarity, cell movement and, specifically in neurons, nuclear envelope integrity. Participates in the cellular trafficking and may regulate the subcellular location of multipass membrane proteins such as the dopamine transporter SLC6A3, leading to the modulation of dopamine neurotransmission. In the endoplasmic reticulum, plays a role in the quality control of protein folding by increasing clearance of misfolded proteins such as SGCE variants or holding them in an intermediate state for proper refolding. May have a redundant function with TOR1B in non- neural tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15505207, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16361107, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17428918, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18167355, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18827015, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19339278, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20169475, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23569223}.;

Disease

DISEASE: Dystonia 1, torsion, autosomal dominant (DYT1) [MIM:128100]: A primary torsion dystonia, and the most common and severe form. Dystonia is defined by the presence of sustained involuntary muscle contractions, often leading to abnormal postures. Dystonia type 1 is characterized by involuntary, repetitive, sustained muscle contractions or postures involving one or more sites of the body, in the absence of other neurological symptoms. Typically, symptoms develop first in an arm or leg in middle to late childhood and progress in approximately 30% of patients to other body regions (generalized dystonia) within about five years. 'Torsion' refers to the twisting nature of body movements observed in DYT1, often affecting the trunk. Distribution and severity of symptoms vary widely between affected individuals, ranging from mild focal dystonia to severe generalized dystonia, even within families. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14970196, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15505207, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16361107, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17428918, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18167355, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18477710, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18827015, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19955557, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20169475, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21102408, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27490483, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9288096}.
