Summary: Enables identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including calcium import into the mitochondrion; convergent extension involved in gastrulation; and mitochondrial calcium ion homeostasis. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in brain; head; liver; pericardial region; and visceral fat. Used to study cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human MCU (mitochondrial calcium uniporter).

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.
