Function |
Involved in the fragmentation of the mitochondrial network and its perinuclear clustering. Plays a minor role in the recruitment and association of the fission mediator dynamin- related protein 1 (DNM1L) to the mitochondrial surface and mitochondrial fission. Can induce cytochrome c release from the mitochondrion to the cytosol, ultimately leading to apoptosis. Also mediates peroxisomal fission. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12783892, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12861026, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14996942, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16107562, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16118244, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23283981, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23530241}.
