We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Calcium is a main signalling effector in eukaryotic cells. Therefore, its cellular concentration is tightly regulated through processes of calcium increase and decrease. Among decrease processes, mitochondria are organelles capable of buffering high concentrations of calcium, and by doing so, they become central on cellular signalling and survival. In humans, mitochondrial calcium uptake is mediated by a protein called MCU. | Calcium is a main signalling effector in eukaryotic cells.
