De novo expression of intercellular-adhesion molecule 1 in melanoma correlates with increased risk of metastasis.

abstract：:The mitochondrial uniporter is a Ca2+-channel complex resident within the organelle's inner membrane. In mammalian cells the uniporter's activity is regulated by Ca2+ due to concerted action of MICU1 and MICU2, two paralogous, but functionally distinct, EF-hand Ca2+-binding proteins. Here we present the X-ray structur...
