Description
Predicted to have GTPase activity. Involved in several processes, including axonal transport of mitochondrion; axonogenesis; and neuromuscular junction development. Predicted to localize to intrinsic component of mitochondrial outer membrane. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2. 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. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; heart; nervous system; otic vesicle; and ventral mesenchyme. Orthologous to human MFN2 (mitofusin 2).
