Facts about Mitofusin-1.
It may involve a significant rearrangement of the coiled coil domains (PubMed:27920125, PubMed:28114303). Mitochondria are exceptionally dynamic organelles, and their morphology is determined by the equilibrium between mitochondrial fusion and fission events (PubMed:12475957, PubMed:12759376).

Detected in kidney and heart (at protein level) (PubMed:12759376). Ubiquitous (PubMed:11950885, PubMed:12759376). Expressed at slightly higher level in kidney and heart (PubMed:12759376). Isoform 2 may be overexpressed in some tumors, such as lung cancers (PubMed:11751411).
