Historical note and nomenclature. Hereditary spastic paraplegia is the name given to a group of diseases that are heterogenous and inherited, in which the main clinical feature is progressive spasticity of the lower limbs. The original description of hereditary spastic paraplegia was made by Strümpell in 1880.

SPG20 protein spartin is recruited to midbodies by ESCRT-III protein Ist1 and participates in cytokinesis. [PDF]
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs, SPG1-46) are inherited neurological disorders characterized by lower extremity spastic weakness. Loss-of-function SPG20 gene mutations cause an autosomal recessive HSP known as Troyer syndrome.

Microtubule-dependent and independent roles of spastin in lipid droplet dispersion and biogenesis
The hereditary spastic paraplegia protein spastin limits the biogenesis of lipid droplets at the endoplasmic reticulum in a microtubule-independent manner, whereas it promotes lipid droplet movement by binding to the microtubules.
