Abstract excerpt
Six years ago, STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) was identified as an essential component of store-operated calcium channels and in less than one year teamed up with its first partner ORAI1 in immune cells to reconstitute CRAC (calcium-release activated current) channel function. Since then, STIM1 and ORAI1 have developed an ever increasing social network and to date are now linked to nine families of...
