Also known as NET32Erlin-2
Summary
ERLIN2 (ER lipid raft associated 2, HGNC:1356) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p11.23, encoding Erlin-2 (O94905). Component of the ERLIN1/ERLIN2 complex which mediates the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) such as ITPR1.
This gene encodes a member of the SPFH domain-containing family of lipid raft-associated proteins. The encoded protein is localized to lipid rafts of the endoplasmic reticulum and plays a critical role in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) signaling by mediating ER-associated degradation of activated IP3 receptors. Mutations in this gene are a cause of spastic paraplegia-18 (SPG18). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Functional genomics
gnomAD constraint: pLI 0.01, LOEUF 0.703, missense Z 3.31 — population loss-of-function intolerance (pLI ≥ 0.9 = LoF-intolerant; lower LOEUF = more constrained). gnomAD
Regional missense constraint (gnomAD)
ENST00000519638 splits into 3 regions with different missense tolerance; 1 is missense-constrained (≈5% of the expected missense variation). Missense variants in a constrained region (low observed/expected) are more likely to be pathogenic. gnomAD

Function. Component of the ERLIN1/ERLIN2 complex which mediates the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) such as ITPR1. Promotes sterol-accelerated ERAD of HMGCR probably implicating an AMFR/gp78-containing ubiquitin ligase complex. Involved in regulation of cellular cholesterol homeostasis by regulation the SREBP signaling pathway. May promote ER retention of the SCAP-SREBF complex.
Subunit / interactions. Forms a heteromeric complex with ERLIN1. In complex with ERLIN1, interacts with RNF170. Interacts with activated ITPR1, independently of the degree of ITPR1 polyubiquitination. Interacts with SCAP, INSIG1, SREBF1 and SREBF2 under cholesterol sufficiency conditions; indicative for an association with the SCAP-SREBP-INSIG complex. Probably part of an AMFR/gp78 and INSIG1-containing ubiquitin ligase complex involved in ERAD of HMGCR. Interacts with TMUB1; TMUB1 bridges the association with AMFR. Interacts with SYVN1 and RNF139. Interacts with TMEM259. Interacts with TMEM41B.
Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous.
Post-translational modifications. Deubiquitinated by USP25; leading to stabilization.
Disease relevance. Spastic paraplegia 18B, autosomal recessive (SPG18B) [MIM:611225] 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. SPG18B is a severe form with onset in early childhood. Most affected individuals have severe psychomotor retardation. Some may develop significant joint contractures. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Spastic paraplegia 18A, autosomal dominant (SPG18A) [MIM:620512] 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. SPG18A is a pure form. Age at onset of symptoms varies considerably from childhood to adulthood. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the band 7/mec-2 family.
