Abstract excerpt
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) represents a major calcium influx pathway in non-excitable cells and is central to many physiological processes such as T cell activation and mast cell degranulation. SOCE is activated through intricate coordination between the Ca(2+) sensor on the ER membrane (stromal interaction molecule 1, STIM1) and the plasma membrane channel Orai1. When Ca(2+) stores are depleted, STIM1...
