Torsin A
Torsin-1A also known as dystonia 1 protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TOR1A gene. TorA localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and contiguous perinuclear space, where its ATPase activity is activated by either LULL1 or LAP1, respectively.Function
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the AAA family of adenosine triphosphatases, is related to the Clp protease/heat shock family.Mutations in this gene result in the autosomal dominant disorder, torsion dystonia 1.
