Description
Product Characteristics:
MFF belongs to the tango11 family and plays a role in mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission. It is highly expressed in heart, kidney, liver, brain, muscle and stomach. There are five named isoforms.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Cell membrane
Synonyms: C2orf33, Chromosome 2 open reading frame 33, DKFZp666J168, GL004, MGC110913, Mitochondrial fission factor, MFF_HUMAN.
Target Information: 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]
