| Protein folding | SRR domains assist in folding/refolding of client proteins, analogous to Hsp90 |
| Protein quality control | Participates in ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated degradation of misfolded substrates |
| DnaJ domain | The J-domain recruits Hsp70 chaperones to facilitate substrate processing |
| HEPN domain | C-terminal higher eukaryotes and prokaryotes nucleotide-binding domain with potential nuclease function |
| Mitochondrial fission | Promotes DRP1-mediated mitochondrial fission |
| Network morphology | Loss of sacsin causes hyperfused, elongated mitochondrial networks |
| Mitophagy | Required for efficient clearance of damaged mitochondria |
| Respiratory chain | Sacsin-deficient cells show impaired oxidative phosphorylation |
| Associated Diseases | neurodegeneration |
