Similarity
The C-helix is required for assembling the Ca(2+)-free homohexamer (PubMed:24514027). It also plays a key role in mitochondrial calcium uptake, probably by mediating interaction with MICU2 (PubMed:24503055, PubMed:24514027). The EF-hand domains have high affinity for calcium and act as sensors of calcium levels (PubMed:23101630, PubMed:24560927). Belongs to the MICU1 family. MICU1 subfamily.
Subunit Structure
Homohexamer; in absence of calcium. Forms a homohexamer in absence of calcium and rearranges into a heterodimer in presence of calcium. Heterodimer; disulfide-linked; heterodimerizes with MICU2. The heterodimer formed with MICU2 associates with MCU at low calcium concentration and dissociates from MCU at high calcium level. Component of the uniplex complex, composed of MCU, MCUB, MICU1, MICU2 and EMRE/SMDT1. Interacts (via polybasic region) with EMRE/SMDT1; the interaction is direct. Interacts (via polybasic region) with MCU (via coiled coil domains); the interaction is direct and precedes formation of the heterodimer with MICU2. Interacts with SLC25A23. Interacts with CHCHD4/MIA40; which introduces the interchain disulfide bond with MICU2.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in epithelial cell lines. Strongly expressed in epidermal keratinocytes and dermal endothelial cells.
Function
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.
Preparation and Storage
Store at -20 degree C. Stable for 12 months from date of receipt.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes an essential regulator of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake under basal conditions. The encoded protein interacts with the mitochondrial calcium uniporter, a mitochondrial inner membrane Ca2+ channel, and is essential in preventing mitochondrial Ca2+ overload, which can cause excessive production of reactive oxygen species and cell stress. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013]

Uniprot Description

MICU1: Key regulator of mitochondrial calcium uptake required for calcium entry into mitochondrion. May act as a calcium sensor via its EF-hand domains, gating the activity of a calcium channel partner. Induces T-helper 1-mediated autoreactivity, which is accompanied by the release of IFNG. Belongs to the MICU1 family. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes

The MICU1 micu1 (Catalog #AAA9630202) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The MICU1 Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MICU1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA)(peptide). ELISA(peptide): 1:20000-1:40000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MICU1 micu1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MICU1, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
