2-Aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) has emerged as a useful pharmacological tool in the study of store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE). It has been shown to potentiate store-operated Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) currents at low micromolar concentrations and to inhibit them at higher concentrations. Initial experiments with the three CRAC channel subtypes CRACM1, CRACM2 and CRACM3 have indicated that they...
