Mitofusin‐2 (Mfn2) regulatory pathway. Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor gamma coactivator 1α (PGC‐1α) and PGC‐1β are positive regulators of Mfn2 activity. Mfn2 is induced by PGC‐1α in response to exercise, cold exposure or β3 adrenergic agonists, whereas under basal conditions PGC‐1β activates Mfn2. This involves activation of the Mfn2 promoter through an estrogen‐related receptor α (ERRα)‐binding element.
