Recombinant Human Mfn2 protein (His tag)

Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) is a GTPase dynamin-like protein of the outer mitochondrial membrane, encoded in the nuclear genome by the MFN2 gene located on the short (p) arm of chromosome 1. MFN2 is an important transmembrane GTPase in the mitochondrial outer membrane and it can block cells in the G0/G1 stage of the cell cycle. MFN2 protein is involved in several intracellular pathways but is mainly involved in a network that has an essential role in several mitochondrial functions, including fusion, axonal transport, interorganellar communication, and mitophagy. Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) is a key protein in mitochondrial fusion and it participates in the bridging of mitochondria to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) . Recent data indicate that Mfn2 ablation leads to ER stress. Mitofusin-2 (MFN2) deficiency in trophoblastic cells is an important cause for early miscarriage. MFN2 can regulate mitochondrial autophagy. Several reports show that MFN2 is a target of different miRNAs.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
