MFF mitochondrial fission factor

Gene ID: 56947, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: EMPF2; GL004; C2orf33

Summary

This is a nuclear gene encoding a protein that functions in mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission. The encoded protein recruits dynamin-1-like protein (DNM1L) to mitochondria. There are multiple pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 1, 5, and X. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013]
