Mfn2 - mitofusin 2 Gene
Also Known as Fzo; D630023P19Rik
Species: Mus musculus
Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including GTP binding activity; GTPase activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in mitochondrial fusion; parkin-mediated stimulation of Mitophagy in response to mitochondrial depolarization; and positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst formation and camera-type eye morphogenesis. Located in microtubule Cytoskeleton and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; eye; heart; and oocyte. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2A. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2A; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2B; and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 6. Orthologous to human MFN2 (mitofusin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
