OPA1 Antibody (1284B) - Azide and BSA Free

OPA1 (optic atrophy protein 1) is a dynamin-related GTPase which forms a diffusion barrier for proteins stored in mitochondrial cristae and is critical to mitochondrial fusion as well as regulation of apoptosis. Intrinsic apoptotic signals mediated proteolytic processing leads OPA1 oligomers disassembly and caspase activator cytochrome C (CYCS) release into mitochondrial intermembrane spaces. Under conditions of stress, dynamin-like 120 kD protein, form S1 (which is the inactive form produced via cleavage at S1 position by OMA1) triggers the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential that results in negative regulation of the process of mitochondrial fusion. OPA1 exists as oligomeric complex consisting of membrane-bound and soluble forms of OPA1, and the latter can interacts with CHCHD3, IMMT and PARL. PARL-dependent proteolytic processing releases an antiapoptotic soluble form which is not required for mitochondrial fusion. Defects in OPA1 are a cause of optic atrophy type 1 (OPA1) as well as dominant optic atrophy plus syndrome (DOA+)
