AFG3L2

 
AFG3 ATPase family gene 3-like 2 ("S. cerevisiae") is a protein that in humans is encoded by the "AFG3L2" gene.
This gene encodes a protein localized in mitochondria and closely related to paraplegin. The paraplegin gene is responsible for an autosomal recessive form of hereditary spastic paraplegia. This gene is a candidate gene for other hereditary spastic paraplegias or neurodegenerative disorders as well as spastic ataxia-neuropathy syndrome.
