通用注释 亚单元:Homodimer, also in the absence of bound GTP (By similarity). Forms higher oligomers in the presence of a transition state GTP analog (By similarity). Forms homomultimers and heteromultimers with MFN2 (PubMed:12527753). Oligomerization is essential for mitochondrion fusion (PubMed:15297672). Component of a high molecular weight multiprotein complex (By similarity). Interacts with VAT1.
功能:Mitochondrial outer membrane GTPase that mediates mitochondrial clustering and fusion (PubMed:12527753, PubMed:23921378, PubMed:24513856, PubMed:15297672). Membrane clustering requires GTPase activity (By similarity). It may involve a major rearrangement of the coiled coil domains (PubMed:15297672). Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles, and their morphology is determined by the equilibrium between mitochondrial fusion and fission events (PubMed:12527753). Overexpression induces the formation of mitochondrial networks (in vitro). Has low GTPase activity.
