Gene name Mitochondrial fission factor
Gene symbol MFF
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
C2orf33EMPF2GL004
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2q36.3
Summary This is a nuclear gene encoding a protein that functions in mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission. The encoded protein recruits dynamin-1-like protein (DNM1L) to mitochondria. There are multiple pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 1, 5, and X. Altern
