Function

ZFYVE19 encodes a zinc finger FYVE domain-containing protein that localizes to the midbody and regulates mitotic progression. The FYVE domain binds phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P), targeting the protein to endosomal membranes. ZFYVE19 plays a role in cell division by contributing to cytokinesis and has been implicated in [autophagy](/entities/autophagy) regulation. Recent studies have identified ZFYVE19 mutations in patients with hereditary spastic paraplegia, suggesting a role in neuronal function. The protein may also be involved in endosomal trafficking, a process critical for neuronal protein homeostasis.

Expression

ZFYVE19 is expressed in various tissues including:

• Brain (cerebral [cortex](/brain-regions/cortex), cerebellum)
• Testis
• Liver
• Kidney

Expressed in dividing cells, consistent with its role in mitosis.

Disease Associations

| Disease | Role | Mechanism |
|---------|------|-----------|
| Alzheimer's Disease | Risk/Progression | Various mechanisms depending on gene function |
| Parkinson's Disease | Risk/Progression | Various mechanisms depending on gene function |
| Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis | Risk/Progression | Various mechanisms depending on gene function |

Therapeutic Implications

Targeting ZFYVE19 has therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative diseases through:

• Gene therapy approaches for loss-of-function variants
• Small molecule modulators of protein function
• Protein supplementation strategies
