| Gene Description | Mitofusins are mitochondrial transmembrane GTPases that function to regulate mitochondrial fusion, a process that occurs in concert with mitochondrial division and is necessary for the maintenance of structural and genetic mitochondrial integrity. Two mitofusins have been described in mammals, mitofusin-1 and -2, which share 60% amino acid identity and appear to function coordinately to regulate mitochondrial fusion. Mitochondrial fusion is widely recognized as important for normal cell growth and development, and may have evolved as a mechanism to offset the deleterious effects of mtDNA mutations. Null mutations in either mitofusin are embryonic lethal in mice, whereas conditional knockout studies have shown that combined deletion of mitofusin-1 and mitofusin-2 in skeletal muscle results in severe mitochondrial dysfunction.Research studies have revealed that mutations in mitofusin-2 are linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, an inherited neurogenerative disease characterized by a progressive loss of muscle tissue and sensory perception. |
