Rabbit Anti-Mitofilin/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Mitochondria are the center of cellular energy production and essential metabolic reactions. As double membrane-bound organelles, mitochondria from different species, tissues, and metabolic states are highly polymorphic in nature, yet exhibit common structural features. The ultrastructural variations in mitochondrial architecture occur mainly due to the differences in the amount and shape of cristae. Abundant cristae are found in mitochondria from tissues where energy demand is high. Analysis of the human heart mitochondrial proteome shows that mitofilin is one of the most abundant mitochondrial proteins. It appears to play an important role in the maintenance of cristae morphology. Mitofilin was originally described as heart muscle protein (HMP) because of its high expression in the heart.
Subunit:
Interacts with OPA1, preferentially with the soluble OPA1 form. Component of the MINOS/MitOS complex, that includes IMMT, HSPA9 and CHCHD3 and associates with mitochondrial outer membrane proteins SAMM50, MTX1 and MTX2. Interacts with CHCHD6; the interaction is direct.
Subcellular Location:
Mitochondrion inner membrane.
