It is a 54 kDa protein that resides primarily in the inner mitochondrial membrane where it helps maintain calcium homeostasis. By modulating calcium uptake MICU2 influences various cellular processes and mitochondrial dynamics. Its expression levels vary among the tissues with notable levels observed in muscle and brain tissues.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nMICU2 is a component of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex which includes other proteins such as MCU and MICU1. This complex ensures proper calcium ion transfer across the mitochondrial membrane which is essential for ATP production maintenance of mitochondrial membrane potential and regulation of apoptotic signaling. MICU2 works as a gatekeeper preventing calcium overload and facilitating controlled entry of calcium ions.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nMICU2 is involved in pathways essential for cellular energy metabolism and apoptosis. It participates in the calcium signaling pathway where it functions alongside MCU to control calcium entry impacting processes like oxidative phosphorylation. Another related pathway is the intrinsic apoptotic pathway where MICU2’s regulation of calcium levels can influence mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis. In this context MICU1 acts as a supportive partner by providing threshold control for calcium uptake.\u003cbr\u003e\nMICU2 is linked to neurodegenerative diseases and mitochondrial dysfunction disorders. Abnormalities in MICU2 expression or function can lead to improper calcium homeostasis contributing to conditions like Alzheimer's disease by affecting neuronal calcium signaling. The interaction of MICU2 with MCU and MICU1 within the uniporter complex is critical for maintaining cellular health and disruptions in these relationships may exacerbate disease progression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850356641961,"sku":"ab320644","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab320644","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
