Function

Mitochondrial outer membrane GTPase that mediates mitochondrial clustering and fusion. Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles, and their morphology is determined by the equilibrium between mitochondrial fusion and fission events.

Protein Biology

Function

Mitochondrial outer membrane GTPase that mediates mitochondrial clustering and fusion (PubMed:12527753, PubMed:23620051, PubMed:23921378). Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles, and their morphology is determined by the equilibrium between mitochondrial fusion and fission events. Overexpression induces the formation of mitochondrial networks. Membrane clustering requires GTPase activity and may involve a major rearrangement of the coiled coil domains (By similarity). Plays a central role in mitochondrial metabolism and may be associated with obesity and/or apoptosis processes. Plays an important role in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation (By similarity). Involved in the clearance of damaged mitochondria via selective autophagy (mitophagy). Is required for PRKN recruitment to dysfunctional mitochondria (PubMed:23620051). Involved in the control of unfolded protein response (UPR) upon ER stress including activation of apoptosis and autophagy during ER stress (PubMed:23921556). Acts as an upstream regulator of EIF2AK3 and suppresses EIF2AK3 activation under basal conditions (PubMed:23921556)

Subcellular Location

Mitochondrion outer membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)

Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous. Expression is markedly reduced in ApoE-knockout mouse atherosclerotic arteries

Subunit

Forms homomultimers and heteromultimers with MFN1 (PubMed:12527753). Oligomerization is essential for mitochondrion fusion (Probable). Interacts with VAT1 (By similarity). Interacts with STOML2; may form heterooligomers (By similarity). Interacts (phosphorylated) with PRKN (PubMed:23620051). Interacts with EIF2AK3 (By similarity). Interacts with THG1L; THG1L probably functions as a guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor/GEF, activating MFN2. Interacts with TRABD (By similarity)

Fill out the Online Inquiry form with your required quantity and specifications. You can also email sales@biocrestsci.com. Our team typically responds within 4 business hours with a quote and availability confirmation.

What is the shipping and delivery time?

Orders placed before 2 PM EST ship the same day. Domestic (US) delivery typically takes 2-3 business days. International orders deliver within 5-10 business days. All products are shipped at ambient temperature with appropriate packaging to ensure stability.

How should I store this recombinant protein?

Lyophilized proteins should be stored at -20°C to -80°C upon receipt. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Shelf life is 12 months from date of receipt when stored as recommended.

What quality controls are performed on your products?

Each product undergoes SDS-PAGE purity analysis (typically >85-95%), endotoxin testing, and bioactivity validation. Products are validated for ELISA, Western Blot, and SPR/BLI applications as specified on this product page. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is available upon request.
