Identification of a functional genetic variant driving racially dimorphic platelet gene expression of the thrombin receptor regulator, PCTP. [PDF]
, 2017 Platelet activation in response to stimulation of the Protease Activated Receptor 4 (PAR4) receptor differs by race. One factor that contributes to this difference is the expression level of Phosphatidylcholine Transfer Protein (PCTP), a regulator of ...

Restoring mitofusin balance prevents axonal degeneration in a Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A model [PDF]
, 2019 Mitofusin-2 (MFN2) is a mitochondrial outer-membrane protein that plays a pivotal role in mitochondrial dynamics in most tissues, yet mutations in MFN2, which cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A (CMT2A), primarily affect the nervous system.

Mitofusin-2 is required for mouse oocyte meiotic maturation [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractMitofusin-2 (Mfn2) is essential for embryonic development, anti-apoptotic events, protection against free radical-induced lesions and mitochondrial fusion in many cells. However, little is known about its mechanism and function during oocyte maturation.

Mitofusin 2 protects hepatocyte mitochondrial function from damage induced by GCDCA. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Mitochondrial impairment is hypothesized to contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic cholestatic liver diseases. Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) regulates mitochondrial morphology and signaling and is involved in the development of numerous mitochondrial-related ...

Rapid degradation of mutant SLC25A46 by the ubiquitin-proteasome system results in MFN1/2-mediated hyperfusion of mitochondria. [PDF]
, 2017 SCL25A46 is a mitochondrial carrier protein that surprisingly localizes to the outer membrane and is distantly related to Ugo1. Here we show that a subset of SLC25A46 interacts with mitochondrial dynamics components and the MICOS complex.

Mitofusin-2 regulates leukocyte adhesion and β2 integrin activation. [PDF]
J Leukoc Biol, 2022 AbstractNeutrophils are critical for inflammation and innate immunity, and their adhesion to vascular endothelium is a crucial step in neutrophil recruitment. Mitofusin-2 (MFN2) is required for neutrophil adhesion, but molecular details are unclear. Here, we demonstrated that β2-integrin-mediated slow-rolling and arrest, but not PSGL-1-mediated cell ...
