Summary: Predicted to enable calcium channel activity; identical protein binding activity; and uniporter activity. Involved in mitochondrial calcium ion transmembrane transport and positive regulation of mitochondrial calcium ion concentration. Located in mitochondrion. Part of calcium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; limb segment; and vertebral axis musculature. Orthologous to human MCU (mitochondrial calcium uniporter). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
