MCU mitochondrial calcium uniporter [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 90550)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 90550)
Symbol: MCU
Full name: mitochondrial calcium uniporter
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: C10orf42; CCDC109A; HsMCU
Summary: 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]
