Micu1 - mitochondrial calcium uptake 1

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; identical protein 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 be located in mitochondrial inner membrane and mitochondrial intermembrane space. Predicted to be integral component of mitochondrial membrane. Predicted to be part of uniplex complex. 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]
