Mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake is mediated by the highly selective channel, the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU)[1-4] and occurs in response to various physiological stimuli, which are often triggered by the release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum. The core components of the MCU complex include pore-forming subunits (ie, MCU, and Essential MCU Regulator [EMRE]) and regulatory proteins (ie, MCUb, MCUR1, MICU1, MICU2, MICU3, LETM1, and SLC25A23). Several studies have elucidated the structure of the MCU alone and in combination with EMRE [4], revealing tetrameric structure with 1: 1 stoichiometry with EMRE. Genetic variants of the MCU complex components have been linked to the development of several diseases, suggesting that this channel plays an important role in organismal physiology. For example, MCU overexpression is associated with the progression of lung, gastric, and liver cancers.© 2021 published by Elsevier.
