Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables GTPase-dependent fusogenic activity. Involved in several processes, including inner mitochondrial membrane organization; negative regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway; and positive regulation of T-helper 17 cell lineage commitment. Acts upstream of or within neural tube closure. Located in dendrite; mitochondrial inner membrane; and mitochondrial intermembrane space. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; heart; liver; lung; and visual system. Used to study optic atrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Behr syndrome; dominant optic atrophy plus syndrome; mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 14; optic atrophy; and optic atrophy 1. Orthologous to human OPA1 (OPA1 mitochondrial dynamin like GTPase).
