Mitochondrial calcium uptake protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MICU1gene (previously CBARA1).[5][6] This protein functions as a calcium sensor that controls calcium uptake into the mitochondria by interaction with the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU).[7] In particular, it forms a disulfide bridge-bound heterodimer with MICU2 which, depending on the calcium concentration, either promotes or suppresses MCU activity.[7]
