Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to be involved in calcium import into the mitochondrion; calcium ion import; and positive regulation of mitochondrial calcium ion concentration. Predicted to act upstream of or within calcium ion transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in brain; heart; and liver. Orthologous to human MCUR1 (mitochondrial calcium uniporter regulator 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in cardiomyocytes exhibit postnatal lethality, reduced body size and impaired mitochondrial calcium uptake. [provided by MGI curators] |
