basic FUNCTION
  • Ugo1-like protein,and a modified carrier protein that has been recruited to the outer mitochondrial membrane and interacts with the inner membrane remodeling protein mitofilin (IMMT)
  • plays a role in a mitochondrial/ER pathway that facilitates lipid transfer, and link altered mitochondrial dynamics to early-onset neurodegenerative disease and cell fate decisions
  • may play an important role in mitochondrial dynamics by mediating mitochondrial fission
