Encodes a protein with high sequence similarity to the dynamin superfamily. Among those members ADL2 was most closely related to Dnm1p of yeast and likely a member of the Vps1p subfamily. Widely expressed in various tissues with highest expression in flower tissues. Localizes to the chloroplast, mitochondrion and peroxisome. Involved in peroxisome and mitochondria fission in combination with DRP3B.
