Protein Coding Gene : Mcu mitochondrial calcium uniporter

Primary Identifier  MGI:3026965 Organism  mouse, laboratory
Chromosome  10 NCBI Gene Number  215999
Mgi Type  protein coding gene
description  FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)

Predicted to enable calcium channel activity; identical protein binding activity; and uniporter activity. Involved in mitochondrial calcium ion transmembrane transport and positive regulation of mitochondrial calcium ion concentration. Located in mitochondrion. Part of calcium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; limb segment; and vertebral axis musculature. Orthologous to human MCU (mitochondrial calcium uniporter).
PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit impaired calcium-induced permeability transition pore opening, decreased body size and weight, decreased exercise endurance and decreased grip strength. [provided by MGI curators]
