Recombinant Mouse Micu1 Protein, Myc/DDK-tagged

• Cat.No.: Micu1-4068M
• Product Overview: Purified recombinant protein of mouse full-length mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 (Micu1), with C-terminal MYC/DDK tag, expressed in HEK293T cells.

Specification

• Species: Mouse
• Source: HEK293
• Tag: Myc&DDK
• Description: Key regulator of mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) that senses calcium level via its EF-hand domains. MICU1 and MICU2 form a disulfide-linked heterodimer that stimulates and inhibits MCU activity, depending on the concentration of calcium. MICU1 acts both as an activator or inhibitor of mitochondrial calcium uptake. Acts as a gatekeeper of MCU at low concentration of calcium, preventing channel opening. Enhances MCU opening at high calcium concentration, allowing a rapid response of mitochondria to calcium signals generated in the cytoplasm. Regulates glucose-dependent insulin secretion in pancreatic beta-cells by regulating mitochondrial calcium uptake. Induces T-helper 1-mediated autoreactivity, which is accompanied by the release of IFNG.
