Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Plays a role in mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission. Promotes the recruitment and association of the fission mediator dynamin-related protein 1 (DNM1L) to the mitochondrial surface. May be involved in regulation of synaptic vesicle membrane dynamics by recruitment of DNM1L to clathrin-containing vesicles. {ECO:0000269PubMed:23283981}.

Subcellular Localization

Mitochondrion outer membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type IV membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Peroxisome {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle {ECO:0000250}.
