Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including GTP binding activity; GTPase activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in mitochondrial fusion; positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and type 2 mitophagy. 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; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 6; and multiple symmetric lipomatosis. Orthologous to human MFN2 (mitofusin 2).
