Dnm1l - dynamin 1-like

Enables BH2 domain binding activity; clathrin binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including mitochondrion organization; positive regulation of cellular component organization; and synaptic vesicle recycling. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi membrane; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and peroxisome. Is active in presynaptic endocytic zone membrane and synaptic vesicle membrane. Colocalizes with clathrin-coated pit and mitochondrial membrane. Biomarker of chronic kidney disease; dental fluorosis; pulmonary fibrosis; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. 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).
