- Description
- Exhibits identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including calcium import into the mitochondrion; convergent extension involved in gastrulation; and mitochondrial calcium ion homeostasis. Predicted to localize to integral component of mitochondrial inner membrane and uniplex complex. Is expressed in brain; head; liver; pericardial region; and visceral fat. Orthologous to human MCU (mitochondrial calcium uniporter).
