Protein attributes
| Sequence length | 741 AA. |
| Sequence status | Complete. |
| Protein existence | Evidence at protein level |
General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Essential transmembrane GTPase, which mediates mitochondrial fusion. Fusion of mitochondria occurs in many cell types and constitutes an important step in mitochondria morphology, which is balanced between fusion and fission. MFN1 acts independently of the cytoskeleton. Overexpression induces the formation of mitochondrial networks. Ref.1 Ref.10 Ref.11 |
| Catalytic activity | GTP + H2O = GDP + phosphate. |
| Subunit structure | Forms homomultimers and heteromultimers with MFN2. Multimerization, which is mediated by the second coiled coil region, may play an essential role in mitochondrion fusion By similarity. Participates in a high molecular weight multiprotein complex. Interacts with VAT1 By similarity. |
| Subcellular location | Mitochondrion outer membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Probable Ref.8 Ref.11. |
| Tissue specificity | Ubiquitous. Expressed at slightly higher level in kidney and heart. Isoform 2 may be overexpressed in some tumors, such as lung cancers. Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.11 |
| Post-translational modification | Ubiquitinated by MARCH5. Ref.12 |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the mitofusin family. |
