mitochondrial fission regulator 2; DUF729 domain-containing protein 1 (MTFR2, DUFD1, FAM54A)

Function

• may play a role in mitochondrial aerobic respiration essentially in the testis
• can also promote mitochondrial fission

Structure

belongs to the MTFR1 family

Compartment

• mitochondria (putative)
• associated with membranes (putative)

Alternative splicing

• named isoforms=2
• at least one isofrom may be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay

More general terms

• mitochondrial protein
• phosphoprotein
