| Gene Symbol | MIRO1PROTEIN |
| Target Class | Signaling Protein |
| Function | is a mitochondrial Rho GTPase protein of approximately 71 kDa that plays critical roles in regulating mitochondrial transport, calcium homeostasis, mitochondrial dynamics, and quality control in ne... |
| Mechanism of Action | MIRO1-targeting drugs modulate GTPase activity to enhance mitochondrial transport along axons and improve mitochondrial quality control through selective autophagy. By regulating MIRO1's interaction with kinesin motor proteins and PINK1-mediated mitophagy, these compounds restore energy homeostasis and reduce neuronal stress in neurodegenerative diseases. |
