Brief Description | calcium-binding EF hand family protein |
TAIR Computational Description | calcium-binding EF hand family protein;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes an EF-hand protein with homology to constituents of the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter machinery in mammals. MICU binds Ca2+ and localizes to the mitochondria in Arabidopsis. It is a negative regulator of mitochondrial calcium uptake. Mutants display elevated matrix calcium at steady state and modified calcium transient kinetics in vivo. |
