ORAI1 Mutations with Distinct Channel Gating Defects in Tubular Aggregate Myopathy
6 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
Calcium (Ca2+) is a physiological key factor, and the precise modulation of free cytosolic Ca2+ levels regulates multiple cellular functions. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a major mechanism controlling Ca2+ homeostasis, and is mediated by the concerted activity of the Ca2+ sensor STIM1 and the Ca2+ channel ORAI1. Dominant gain-of-function mutations in STIM1 or ORAI1 cause tubular aggregate myopathy (TAM) or...
