Finally, this excess [Ca2+]c is taken up with the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU) and released back to the cytosol through the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (MNCX), creating and endless futile thus mitochondrial Ca2+ cycling (MCC) that eventually may cause energy depletion, starting from the mitochondrial changeover pore (MPTP), apoptosis, and neuronal […]
