mitochondrial intermembrane space | neurolastin is developmentally regulated and present on mitochondria. Neurolastin also localizes to mitochondria in transgenic HeLa cells, cultured neurons, and brain tissue. The mitochondrial localization of neurolastin depends upon an N-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence. Neurolastin is imported into the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Although neurolastin is only partially mitochondrially localized at steady state, it displays increased translocation to mitochondria in response to neuronal stress and mitochondrial fragmentation | Mus musculus | 5758 | - |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | neurolastin is a dynamin family GTPase. It also contains a RING domain and exhibits both GTPase and E3 ligase activities | Mus musculus |
malfunction | neurolastin knockout animals have fewer dendritic spines and exhibit a reduction in functional synapses | Mus musculus |
physiological function | neurolastin, a dynamin family GTPase, translocates to mitochondria upon neuronal stress and alters mitochondrial morphology in vivo. It is specifically expressed in the brain and is important for synaptic transmission | Mus musculus |
