Spatacsin (also Spastic paraplegia 11 protein , or SPG11 for short ) is a protein . It is encoded by the SPG11 gene , which is located on chromosome 15 (15q21.1) in humans. Spatacsin is produced in the nervous system , especially in the cerebellum , the cerebral cortex, and the hippocampus . The function of the protein is still unclear.

Several mutations in the SPG11 gene are known. They lead to a sub-form of hereditary spastic paraplegia , the autosomal recessive inherited spastic paraplegia 11 (SPG11).
