Facts about Calcium-binding mitochondrial carrier protein SCaMC-1.
Nucleotide transport is dormant when cytosolic calcium levels are low, and is triggered by an increase in cytosolic calcium levels. May play a role in protecting cells from oxidative stress- induced cell death, probably by promoting the formation of calcium-phosphate precipitates from the mitochondrial matrix, and thereby buffering calcium levels in the mitochondrial matrix.
