Summary
Enables calcium ion binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including calcium import into the mitochondrion; positive regulation of mitochondrial calcium ion concentration; and regulation of cellular hyperosmotic salinity response. Predicted to act upstream of or within calcium ion transport. Located in mitochondrion. Part of calcium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; liver; nervous system; parathyroid gland; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myopathy with extrapyramidal signs. Orthologous to human MICU1 (mitochondrial calcium uptake 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
