Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota; Neoptera; Endopterygota; Diptera; Brachycera; Muscomorpha; Ephydroidea; Drosophilidae; Drosophila; Sophophora
Also known as: B682; CG5410; Dmel\CG5410; dmiro; dMiro; DMiro; DmMiro; miro; Q8IMX7-1; Q8IMX7-2
Summary: Enables GTP binding activity; calcium ion binding activity; and magnesium ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including axonal transport of mitochondrion; regulation of mitochondrion organization; and synaptic vesicle transport. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial outer membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; germline cell; pole plasm; posterior endoderm; and posterior midgut primordium. Used to study Parkinson's disease and neurodegenerative disease. Orthologous to several human genes including RHOT1 (ras homolog family member T1).
