Western Blotting (1 paper)
General Description
Anti-Mitofusin 2 is produced in rabbit using as immunogen a synthetic peptide corresponding to human mitofusin 2 with an N-terminal added cysteine, conjugated to KLH. Mitofusins (Mfn1 and Mfn2) form homotypic and heterotypic complexes for fusion in mitochondria.
Biochem/physiol Actions
MFN2 is essential for the maintenance of mitochondrial network and controls mitochondrial metabolism. Mfn2-dependent regulatory mechanism is disturbed in obesity by reduced Mfn2 expression. Mutations in MFN2 cause Charcot Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 2A, a neurological disorder that results from degeneration of axons in peripheral nerves.
