SMCR7L


Mitochondrial dynamic protein MID51 also known as mitochondrial elongation factor 1 or Smith-Magenis syndrome chromosome region candidate gene 7 protein-like is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SMCR7L gene.

Function

The SMCR7L gene codes for a protein that has been called MiD51/MIEF1 and shown to regulate mitochondrial fission by interacting with the proteins Drp1 and FIS1.
