Background	Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) and the related protein MFN1 are mitochondrial membrane GTPase proteins that play a central role in mitochondrial metabolism and may be associated with obesity and/or apoptosis processes (1,2). MFN2 is ubiquitously expressed, and found in both the ER and outer mitochondrial membrane. MFN2 has two key domains: a coiled coil region that mediates MFN2 binding and a GTPase domain that likely plays a role in fusion (3,4). Both domains are essential for embryonic development and may play a role in the pathobiology of obesity. Overexpression of MFN2 causes mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death (5).
