Protein
Mitochondrial proton/calcium exchanger protein
See alternative names Leucine zipper-EF-hand-containing transmembrane protein 1
Uniprot Function Description
Mitochondrial proton/calcium antiporter that mediates proton-dependent calcium efflux from mitochondrion (PubMed:19797662). Crucial for the maintenance of mitochondrial tubular networks and for the assembly of the supercomplexes of the respiratory chain (PubMed:18628306). Required for the maintenance of the tubular shape and cristae organization (PubMed:18628306). In contrast to SLC8B1/NCLX, does not constitute the major factor for mitochondrial calcium extrusion (PubMed:24898248).
Sample type
Recommended sample types are human plasma and serum. For other sample types e.g cerebrospinal fluid, (CSF), tissue or cell lysate, please contact support@olink.com for more information. Please note that protein expression levels are expected to vary in different sample types and certain assays may be affected by interfering substances such as hemolysate.
Precision
Precision (repeatability) is calculated from linearized NPX values over LOD.
Analytical measuring range
The technical data reported below refers to the measured value in the in vitro validation assays run using known concentrations of recombinant antigen.
Dilution factor
For optimal assay readout, Olink assays are run using different dilutions of the original samples e.g. undiluted, 1:10, or higher. The dilution factor for this assay is noted below and should be taken into account when estimating the appropriate addressable biological concentration of the protein based on the in vitro validation data.
Biomarker Validation Data
