Mitochondrial outer membrane GTPase that mediates mitochondrial clustering and fusion (PubMed:12475957, PubMed:12759376, PubMed:27920125, PubMed:28114303). Membrane clustering requires GTPase activity (PubMed:27920125). It may involve a major rearrangement of the coiled coil domains (PubMed:27920125, PubMed:28114303). Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles, and their morphology is determined by the equilibrium between mitochondrial fusion and fission events (PubMed:12475957, PubMed:12759376). Overexpression induces the formation of mitochondrial networks (in vitro) (PubMed:12759376). Has low GTPase activity (PubMed:27920125, PubMed:28114303).

Purified from TCS
Mitofusin 1 (Mfn1) and Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) are key components involved in mitochondrial dynamics. These proteins often referred to as mitofusins facilitate the fusion of mitochondrial membranes. The molecular weight of Mfn1 is approximately 84 kDa while Mfn2 is around 86 kDa. Both mitofusins are ubiquitous with expression in diverse tissues particularly in metabolically active cells such as in the heart muscle and brain. Mfn2 is sometimes called 2c-10<3c-9 highlighting its genetic coding. Mitofusin 2 also plays a unique role in interactions beyond membrane fusion.
The mitofusins coordinate mitochondrial network maintenance contributing to the stabilization of cellular energy supply. Mitofusins 1 and 2 participate in forming a complex that ensures mitochondrial integrity and function. By facilitating the fusion of mitochondria these proteins help maintain mitochondrial DNA stability and bioenergetics which are vital for efficient cellular metabolism. These tasks are important for cells that undergo high energy demand thereby ensuring proper ATP production.
The mitofusins participate in mitochondrial fusion pathways which are essential for cellular energy metabolism and apoptosis regulation. Mfn1 and Mfn2 along with other proteins like OPA1 ensure mitochondrial structure and function are maintained during these processes. This activity impacts pathways such as the PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy pathway which is important for maintaining healthy mitochondria by eliminating damaged ones.
Mitofusins demonstrate significance in conditions like Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and mitochondrial dysfunction syndromes. Mutations in Mfn2 link directly to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A leading to neuropathy. Additionally impaired mitofusins' function associates with metabolic disorders as mitochondrial dynamics play a role in regulating glucose homeostasis. Understanding their roles further clarifies the interactions with other proteins such as Drp1 contributing to metabolic flexibility and neurodegeneration pathways.

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour before being incubated with ab57602 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using the Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216772 at a 1/10,000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature and then imaged using the Licor Odyssey CLx.
The difference in MW is due to lane one having a GST tag and lane 2 a DDK tag.
