Dynamin-related GTPase that is essential for normal mitochondrial morphology by regulating the equilibrium between mitochondrial fusion and mitochondrial fission (PubMed:16778770, PubMed:17709429, PubMed:20185555, PubMed:24616225).
Coexpression of isoform 1 with shorter alternative products is required for optimal activity in promoting mitochondrial fusion (PubMed:17709429).
Binds lipid membranes enriched in negatively charged phospholipids, such as cardiolipin, and promotes membrane tubulation (PubMed:20185555).
The intrinsic GTPase activity is low, and is strongly increased by interaction with lipid membranes (PubMed:20185555).
Plays a role in remodeling cristae and the release of cytochrome c during apoptosis (By similarity).
Proteolytic processing in response to intrinsic apoptotic signals may lead to disassembly of OPA1 oligomers and release of the caspase activator cytochrome C (CYCS) into the mitochondrial intermembrane space (By similarity).
Plays a role in mitochondrial genome maintenance (PubMed:20974897, PubMed:18158317).
