Mitochondrial outer membrane protein involved in the regulation of mitochondrial organization (PubMed:29361167). It is required for mitochondrial fission and promotes the recruitment and association of the fission mediator dynamin-related protein 1 (DNM1L) to the mitochondrial surface independently of the mitochondrial fission FIS1 and MFF proteins. Regulates DNM1L GTPase activity.

The mitochondrial elongation factor 2 (MIEF2) also known as SMCR7L plays a critical role in regulating mitochondrial dynamics particularly in the process of mitochondrial fusion. This protein with a molecular weight of approximately 48 kDa helps control the balance between mitochondrial fission and fusion which is essential for maintaining mitochondrial function and cellular homeostasis. MIEF2 is expressed in various tissues with pronounced expression in the heart brain and skeletal muscle reflecting its importance in high-energy-demand tissues.
The regulation of mitochondrial dynamics through MIEF2 involves the modulation of mitofusin proteins which are integral to the fusion process. MIEF2 forms a part of large protein complexes that interact with mitofusin 2 (MFN2) to promote mitochondrial outer membrane fusion. This regulatory activity helps maintain the structural integrity of mitochondrian important for energy production and apoptosis regulation.
MIEF2 plays a pivotal role within mitochondrial quality control pathways which are essential for cellular homeostasis. MIEF2's interaction with MFN2 is integral to the mitophagy pathway a specialized form of autophagy that removes damaged mitochondria. Additionally the coordination between MIEF2 and dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) has significant implications on the balance between fusion and fission processes therefore influencing the overall dynamics of mitochondrial networks.
MIEF2 shows connection to neurodegenerative diseases and cardiovascular disorders. Its role in mitochondrial dynamics makes it relevant in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease where mitochondrial dysfunction is observed. MIEF2's interaction with MFN2 is especially important in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A a disorder affecting peripheral nerves. Understanding the dysregulation of MIEF2 can provide insights into the pathophysiology of these disorders highlighting its potential as a target for therapeutic intervention.
