Function | Mitochondrial outer membrane protein which regulates mitochondrial fission. 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21508961, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23283981, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23530241, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23921378}. |
Subcellular Location | Mitochondrion outer membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21508961}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21508961}. Note=Colocalizes with DNM1L at mitochondrial membrane. Forms foci and rings around mitochondria. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed in all tissues tested with highest expression in heart and skeletal muscle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11997338}. |
