| Function |
Possesses ATPase activity (By similarity). Plays a part in calcium-regulated keratinocyte activation in epidermal repair mechanisms. Has no effect on cell proliferation. Negatively regulates mitochondrial fusion in cooperation with mitofusin proteins (MFN1-2). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12898150, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17105775, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19508442}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion outer membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note=The majority is localized in the cytoplasm and a small amount is associated with mitochondria. {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in brain. Also expressed in glioblastoma cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19508442}.
