Dynamin-like 120 kDa protein mitochondrial is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OPA1 gene.This gene product is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein with similarity to dynamin-related GTPases. It is a component of the mitochondrial network. Mutations in this gene have been associated with optic atrophy type 1 which is a dominantly inherited optic neuropathy resulting in progressive loss of visual acuity leading in many cases to legal blindness.
