Calcium uniporter protein, mitochondrial

UniProtKB accession:  Q54LT0

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Mitochondrial inner membrane calcium uniporter that mediates calcium uptake into mitochondria (PubMed:24889638, PubMed:33296646). Constitutes a pore-forming and calcium-conducting subunit (PubMed:24889638, PubMed:33296646). Mitochondrial calcium homeostasis plays key roles in cellular physiology and regulates cell bioenergetics, cytoplasmic calcium signals and activation of cell death pathways (PubMed:24889638). Sufficient to operate as a pore-forming channel without the need of calcium-sensor or auxiliary subunit (PubMed:33296646).
