SEPTIN14 — Septin 14

Overview

SEPTIN14 encodes Septin 14, a member of the highly conserved septin family of GTP-binding proteins that play essential roles in cellular organization, cytokinesis, membrane dynamics, and cytoskeletal coordination. Located on chromosome 22q12.3, the SEPTIN14 gene encodes a 427-amino acid protein that belongs to the SEPT2/SEPT4 subfamily of septins. While historically considered primarily testis-specific with roles in male fertility, emerging research has revealed broader expression patterns and potential physiological roles in neuronal cells, including functions relevant to neurodegenerative diseases[@hall2015][@kinoshita2008].

The septin family has been increasingly implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, with several members—particularly SEPT4 and SEPT5—linked directly to Parkinson's disease pathogenesis through genetic associations and pathological findings in Lewy bodies. SEPTIN14, as a member of the same phylogenetic subfamily, shares structural and functional relationships that may confer similar disease-relevant functions or compensatory capacities[@ishida2016][@fujishima2015].
