Article

Mitofusin-1 protein is a generally expressed mediator of mitochondrial fusion in mammalian cells.

Journal of cell science - 1 Jul 2003

Santel Ansgar, Frank Stephan, Gaume Brigitte, Herrler Michael, Youle Richard J, Fuller Margaret T

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial fusion may regulate mitochondrial morphogenesis and underlie complementation between mitochondrial genomes in mammalian cells. The nuclear encoded mitochondrial proteins Mfn1 and Mfn2 are human homologues of the only known protein mediators of mitochondrial fusion, the Drosophila Fz...
