Ataxin is a type of nuclear protein. The class is called ataxin because mutated forms of these proteins and their corresponding genes were found to cause progressive ataxia. Some examples, their coding genes and associated diseases include: Ataxin 1, coded by ATXN1. Mutants of ataxin 1 with a polyglutamine expansion cause SCA1.
Ataxin 2, coded by ATXN2. It is known to cause SCA2 with polyglutamine expansion.
Ataxin 3, coded by ATXN3. Machado-Joseph disease is caused by polyglutamine expansions i
