Gene

Public Gene Name

eat-3  

Sequence Name

D2013.5  

WB ID

WBGene00001134  

Description

The eat-3 gene encodes a mitochondrial dynamin-related protein, closely related to bacterial dynamin-like proteins, that is orthologous to human OPA1 (OMIM:203740, mutated in autosomal dominant optic atrophy); EAT-3 is localized to the mitochondrial matrix and may play a role in regulating inner mitochondrial membrane morphology; EAT-3 is expressed in body wall muscle, intestine, and neurons, all tissues with high metabolic rates.
