UniProt data
UniProt name: PINK1_HUMAN (Q9BXM7)
Gene name: PINK1
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: Protects against mitochondrial dysfunction during cellular stress by phosphorylating mitochondrial proteins. Involved in the clearance of damaged mitochondria via selective autophagy (mitophagy) by mediating activation and translocation of PARK2. Targets PARK2 to dysfunctional depolarized mitochondria through the phosphorylation of MFN2. Activates PARK2 in 2 steps: (1) by mediating phosphorylation at 'Ser-65' of PARK2 and (2) mediating phosphorylation of ubiquitin, converting PARK2 to its fully-active form (PubMed:24660806, PubMed:24751536, PubMed:24784582, PubMed:25527291). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14607334, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15087508, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19229105, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19966284, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20404107, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20798600, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23620051, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23754282, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23933751, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24660806, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24751536, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24784582, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24896179, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25527291}.
Subcellular location: Mitochondrion outer membrane; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15087508, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18687899, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19229105, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20798600, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23933751}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19229105, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20798600}. Note=Localizes mostly in mitochondrion and the 2 proteolytic processed fragments of 55 kDa and 48 kDa localize mainly in cytosol. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19229105}.
