Background
Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter Regulator 1 (MCUR1) is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein involved in the uptake of calcium. This multi-pass protein contains two transmembrane domains with both amino- and carboxy-termini projecting into the same mitochondrial intermembrane space (1). Research studies indicate that reduction in MCUR1 activity results in decreased mitochondrial Ca2+uptake, while overexpression of MCUR1 results in increased mitochondrial calcium levels (1). MCUR1 protein directly interacts with mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) and plays an essential role in the regulation of calcium uptake and maintenance of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis (1). Regulation of MCU by MCUR1 may be critical for a variety of cellular functions, including signal transduction, bioenergetics, and cell death and survival (2)
