Gene nameMICU2
Protein nameMitochondrial calcium uptake 2
Calcium uptake protein 2, mitochondrial (EF-hand domain-containing family member A1)
SynonymsEFHA1
DescriptionFUNCTION: Key regulator of mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) required to limit calcium uptake by MCU when cytoplasmic calcium is low . MICU1 and MICU2 form a disulfide-linked heterodimer that stimulate and inhibit MCU activity, depending on the concentration of calcium . MICU2 acts as a gatekeeper of MCU that senses calcium level via its EF-hand domains: prevents channel opening at resting calcium, avoiding energy dissipation and cell-death triggering . .
