DNM1L wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human DNM1L wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12p11.21 and is approximately 66 kb in length. This allele, which encodes dynamin-1-like protein, is involved in the division process of both mitochondria and peroxisomes. Mutation of the gene is associated with lethal encephalopathy due to defective mitochondrial peroxisomal fission.
