MFN2

This gene encodes a mitochondrial membrane protein that participates in mitochondrial fusion and contributes to the maintenance and operation of the mitochondrial network. This protein is involved in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, and it may play a role in the pathophysiology of obesity. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2, and hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy VI, which are both disorders of the peripheral nervous system. Defects in this gene have also been associated with early-onset stroke. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified.

Interaction

Forms homomultimers and heteromultimers with MFN1 (PubMed:26085578). Oligomerization is essential for mitochondrion fusion (Probable). Interacts with VAT1 (By similarity). Interacts with STOML2; may form heterooligomers (PubMed:17121834). Interacts (phosphorylated) with PRKN (PubMed:23620051). Interacts with EIF2AK3 (By similarity). Interacts with THG1L; THG1L probably functions as a guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor/GEF, activating MFN2.
