Entrez Gene summary for MCU Gene:

This gene encodes a calcium transporter that localizes to the mitochondrial inner membrane. The encoded protein

interacts with mitochondrial calcium uptake 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

(provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012)

GeneCards Summary for MCU Gene:

MCU (mitochondrial calcium uniporter) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with MCU include pancreatitis. GO annotations related to this gene include calcium channel activity and uniporter activity. An important paralog of this gene is CCDC109B.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MCU_HUMAN, Q8NE86

Function: Mitochondrial inner membrane calcium uniporter that mediates calcium uptake into mitochondrion.

Mitochondrial calcium homeostasis plays key roles in cellular physiology and regulates cell bioenergetics,

cytoplasmic calcium signals and activation of cell death pathways. Regulates glucose-dependent insulin secretion

in pancreatic beta-cells by regulating mitochondrial calcium uptake. Involved in buffering the amplitude of

systolic calcium rises in cardiomyocytes
