Function |
Mitochondrial inner membrane calcium uniporter that mediates calcium uptake into mitochondria. Mitochondrial calcium homeostasis plays key roles in cellular physiology and regulates cell bioenergetics, cytoplasmic calcium signals and activation of cell death pathways. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8NE86}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Mitochondrion inner membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8NE86}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8NE86}.
