| Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylation at Ser-13 by CK2 and at Tyr-18 by SRC inhibits activation of mitophagy. Following hypoxia, dephosphorylated at Tyr-18, leading to interaction with MAP1 LC3 family proteins and triggering mitophagy. Dephosphorylation is mediated by PGAM5. Phosphorylated by ULK1 at Ser-17 which enhances FUNDC1 binding to LC3. Ubiquitinated on Lys-119. Deubiquitinated by USP19.leading to hypoxia-induced DRP1 oligomerization and GTPase activity. |
| Function | Integral mitochondrial outer-membrane protein that mediates the formation of mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs). In turn, mediates angiogenesis and neoangiogenesis through interference with intracellular Ca(2+) communication and regulation of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor KDR/VEGFR2 expression at both mRNA and protein levels. Acts also as an activator of hypoxia-induced mitophagy, an important mechanism for mitochondrial quality and homeostasis, by interacting with and recruiting LC3 protein family to mitochondria. Mechanistically, recruits DRP1 at ER-mitochondria contact sites leading to DRP1 oligomerization and GTPase activity to facilitate mitochondrial fission during hypoxia. Additionally, plays a role in hepatic ferroptosis by interacting directly with glutathione peroxidase/GPX4 to facilitate its recruitment into mitochondria through TOM/TIM complex where it is degraded by mitophagy. |
