Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 76137 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in calcium import into the mitochondrion; calcium ion import; and positive regulation of mitochondrial calcium ion concentration. 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] |
