MTCH2 resides on the outer mitochondrial membrane where it co-localizes with the apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein BID.[9]

Clinical significance

edit

MTCH2 assists in the recruitment of BID into the mitochondria during apoptosis.[9]

Variants of the MTCH2 gene may be associated with obesity.[10] MTCH2 represses mitochondrial metabolism such that a deficiency of MTCH2 increases energy consumption and production by mitochondria.[9]
