Mcub Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable calcium channel inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including calcium import into the mitochondrion; negative regulation of calcium import into the mitochondrion; and positive regulation of skeletal muscle satellite cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrial inner membrane. Predicted to be part of uniplex complex. Orthologous to human MCUB (mitochondrial calcium uniporter dominant negative subunit beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Mcub often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
