Abstract excerpt
T-lymphocyte activation requires sustained Ca(2+) signaling dependent upon capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE). The protein(s) that forms the stores-operated Ca(2+) channel (SOCC) responsible for CCE has long been sought but has not been definitively identified. Members of the TRPV family (transient receptor potential superfamily-vanilloid receptor subfamily) of channel genes have been proposed to encode SOCCs...
