OPA1 polyclonal antibody

OPA1(Optic atrophy 1 gene protein), is a 120kDa protein belonging to the dynamin family. The OPA1 gene has been localized to 3q29. The gene is targeted to mitochondria and is involved in mitochondrial biogenesis. Defects in OPA1 are a cause of optic atrophy type 1. OPA1 is mostly expressed in retina but can also be expressed in brain, testis, heart and skeletal muscle.
