Abstract excerpt
Store-operated Ca(2+) entry mediated by STIM1-gated Orai1 channels is essential to activate immune cells and its inhibition or gain-of-function can lead to immune dysfunction and other pathologies. Reactive oxygen species interacting with cysteine residues can alter protein function. Pretreatment of the Ca(2+) selective Orai1 with the oxidant H2O2 reduces ICRAC with C195, distant to the pore, being its major...
