Function
Mitochondrial protein that plays a critical role in the sodium-dependent calcium efflux from mitochondrion. The precise role of TMEM65 in mitochondrial sodium/calcium exchange is however unclear: TMEM65 associates with the SLC8B1/NCLX antiporter and probably promotes the sodium/calcium exchange mediated by SLC8B1/NCLX. According to another report, TMEM65 functions as the mitochondrial sodium/calcium antiporter itself: homodimerization drives formation of a pocket capable of binding calcium.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Mitochondrion inner membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Predominantly expressed the ventricular tissue (at protein level)
Disease Association: [Defects in TMEM65 may cause a mitochondrial disorder characterized by a complex encephalomyopathic phenotype. Clinical features includ microcephaly, dysmorphic features, psychomotor regression, hypotonia, growth retardation, lactic acidosis, intractable seizures, dyskenetics movements, without cardiomyopathy ]
