Protein Information
Name MFN2 {ECO:0000303|PubMed:12598526, ECO:0000312|HGNC:HGNC:16877}
Function Mitochondrial outer membrane GTPase that mediates mitochondrial clustering and fusion (PubMed:11181170, PubMed:11950885, PubMed:26214738, PubMed:28114303). Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles, and their morphology is determined by the equilibrium between mitochondrial fusion and fission events (PubMed:28114303). Overexpression induces the formation of mitochondrial networks (PubMed:28114303). Membrane clustering requires GTPase activity and may involve a major rearrangement of the coiled coil domains (Probable). Plays a central role in mitochondrial metabolism and may be associated with obesity and/or apoptosis processes (By similarity). Plays an important role in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation (By similarity). Involved in the clearance of damaged mitochondria via selective autophagy (mitophagy) (PubMed:23620051). Is required for PRKN recruitment to dysfunctional mitochondria (PubMed:23620051). Involved in the control of unfolded protein response (UPR) upon ER stress including activation of apoptosis and autophagy during ER stress (By similarity). Acts as an upstream regulator of EIF2AK3 and suppresses EIF2AK3 activation under basal conditions (By similarity).
Cellular Location Mitochondrion outer membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Note=Colocalizes with BAX during apoptosis
Tissue Location Ubiquitous; expressed at low level. Highly expressed in heart and kidney.

Background

Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) and the related protein MFN1 are mitochondrial membrane GTPase proteins that play a central role in mitochondrial metabolism and may be associated with obesity and/or apoptosis processes (1,2). MFN2 is ubiquitously expressed, and found in both the ER and outer mitochondrial membrane. MFN2 has two key domains: a coiled coil region that mediates MFN2 binding and a GTPase domain that likely plays a role in fusion (3,4). Both domains are essential for embryonic development and may play a role in the pathobiology of obesity. Overexpression of MFN2 causes mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death (5).
