SGD DescriptionMitochondrial GTPase, present in complex with Ugo1p and Fzo1p; required for mitochondrial morphology, fusion, and genome maintenance; exists as long and short form with different distributions; ratio of long to short forms is regulated by Psd1p; homolog of human OPA1 involved in autosomal dominant optic atrophy
PomBase Descriptionmitochondrial dynamin family GTPase Msp1
AspGD DescriptionOrtholog(s) have role in mitochondrial fusion, mitochondrial genome maintenance and extrinsic component of mitochondrial inner membrane, fungal-type vacuole membrane localization
