Calcium uniporter protein, mitochondrial

UniProtKB accession:  A1CWT6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Highly selective calcium channel localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane, which mediates calcium uptake into the mitochondrial matrix (PubMed:29995855). Mitochondrial calcium homeostasis plays key roles in cellular physiology and regulates ATP production, cytoplasmic calcium signals and activation of cell death pathways (PubMed:29995855). Sufficient to operate as a pore-forming channel without the need of calcium-sensor or auxiliary subunit (PubMed:29995855).
