Anti-MCUR1 Antibody Picoband®

MCUR1 is an inner mitochondrial membrane protein that has been shown to function as a component of the mitochondrial Ca (2+) uniporter, in the assembly of mitochondrial respiratory complex IV, and in mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) . The MCUR1 gene is mapped to chromosome 6p23 based on an alignment of the MCUR1 sequence with the genomic sequence.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human MCUR1, which shares 79.4% and 82.3% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat MCUR1, respectively.

Key regulator of mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) required for calcium entry into mitochondrion. Plays a role in uniporter-mediated calcium uptake via a interaction with MCU. Probably involved in the assembly of the membrane components of the uniporter complex.
