Gene: DNM1L

Alternate names for this Gene: DLP1|DRP1|DVLP|DYMPLE|EMPF|EMPF1|HDYNIV|OPA5

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the dynamin superfamily of GTPases. The encoded protein mediates mitochondrial and peroxisomal division, and is involved in developmentally regulated apoptosis and programmed necrosis. Dysfunction of this gene is implicated in several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. Mutations in this gene are associated with the autosomal dominant disorder, encephalopathy, lethal, due to defective mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission (EMPF). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12
