It functions as a pivotal component in mitochondrial transport and dynamics. This protein localizes to the outer mitochondrial membrane and is highly expressed in various tissues particularly in the brain and muscles. MIRO1 facilitates the anchoring of mitochondria to microtubule motors enabling their movement within the cell which is essential for maintaining proper energy distribution.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nMIRO1 plays a significant role in regulating mitochondrial trafficking along the cytoskeleton. It forms part of a protein complex with TRAK1\/2 kinesin and dynein motor proteins. MIRO1's presence in this complex allows it to modulate mitochondrial distribution and dynamics which are essential for neural development and function. It also influences mitochondrial shape and interaction with the endoplasmic reticulum impacting intracellular calcium homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nMIRO1 is an integral component of pathways involving mitochondrial transport and cellular energy homeostasis. It actively participates in the regulation of calcium signaling pathways alongside related proteins like TRAK1. Additionally MIRO1's involvement in the maintenance of mitochondrial dynamics links it to mitophagy pathways. These pathways regulate the removal of damaged mitochondria a vital process for cellular health and longevity.\u003cbr\u003e\nMIRO1 has connections to neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. These conditions correlate with impaired mitochondrial trafficking and dynamics. MIRO1 interacts with proteins such as PINK1 and Parkin which contribute to mitochondrial quality control and are involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases. The disruption of MIRO1 function can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and energy deficits which are underlying factors in these neurodegenerative processes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843917369513,"sku":"ab163047","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab163047","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
