| Primary Identifier | MGI:1914664 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 67414 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable GTPase activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of mitochondrial membrane potential. Acts upstream of or within mitochondrial fusion. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including 2-cell stage conceptus; blastocyst-stage conceptus; placenta; retina; and tibialis anterior. Orthologous to human MFN1 (mitofusin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene die in mid gestation. Structural and functional abnormalities of mitochondria are reported. [provided by MGI curators] |
