Drp1 - Dynamin related protein 1

Predicted to enable GTPase activity and microtubule binding activity. Involved in several processes, including mitochondrion organization; positive regulation of mitochondrial fission; and ventral furrow formation. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on lymph gland crystal cell differentiation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in adult head. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in encephalopathy due to defective mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission 1 and optic atrophy 5. Orthologous to human DNM1L (dynamin 1 like).
