Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 90550
Gene name Mitochondrial calcium uniporter
Gene symbol MCU
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
C10orf42CCDC109AHsMCU
Chromosome 10
Chromosome location 10q22.1
Summary This gene encodes a calcium transporter that localizes to the mitochondrial inner membrane. The encoded protein interacts with mitochondrial calcium uptake 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
