Conformational allocation of mitofusin 2 in neuronal mitochondrial dynamics: Mechanisms and therapeutic targeting.
Neurons must sustain functional mitochondria far from the cell body. Mitofusin 2 (MFN2), a dynamin-like large guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase), coordinates outer mitochondrial membrane remodeling with axonal transport, bioenergetic support, inter-organelle communication, and stress-responsive quality control.
