Gene Ontology Information

Protein Name	Mgm1p
Description	Mitochondrial GTPase, present in complex with Ugo1p and Fzo1p; required for mitochondrial morphology, fusion, and genome maintenance; promotes membrane bending; plays a direct role in formation and maintenance of lamellar, but not of tubular, cristae; exists as long and short form with different distributions; ratio of long to short forms is regulated by Psd1p; homolog of human OPA1 involved in autosomal dominant optic atrophy
