This dynamic process is highly regulated in response to various physiological cues (1,2). The GTPase OPA1 mediates the fusion of the mitochondrial inner membrane. Constitutive proteolytic processes mediated by OMA1 (S1 site) and YME1L (S2 site) convert long isoforms (L-OPA1) into short isforms (S-OPA1). The balance between L-OPA1 and S-OPA1 is required to maintain a normal morphology of mitochondria (3,4).OMA1 is synthesized as a precursor and processed into a mature form (5,6). OMA1 is constitutively active and cleaves L-OPA1 at the S1 site. However, various stress stimuli can further activate OMA1 and result in the rapid and complete conversion of L-OPA1 into S-OPA1, which inhibits fusion and causes mitochondrial fragmentation (6).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\n2010001O09Rik; DAB1; FLJ33782; Metalloendopeptidase OMA1, mitochondrial; metalloprotease related protein 1; Metalloprotease-related protein 1; MPRP-1; MPRP1; OMA1; OMA1 homolog, zinc metallopeptidase; OMA1 homolog, zinc metallopeptidase (S. cerevisiae); OMA1 zinc metallopeptidase; OMA1 zinc metallopeptidase homolog; overlapping activity with M-AAA protease; Overlapping with the m-AAA protease 1 homolog; peptidase; YKR087C; zinc metallopeptidase OMA1; ZMPOMA1\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 37\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800047898793,"sku":"95473T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-95473t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
