Abstract excerpt
All three members of the Orai family of cation channels-Orai1, Orai2 and Orai3-are integral membrane proteins that can form store-operated Ca2+ channels resembling endogenous calcium release-activated channels (CRAC) in many aspects. Loss of function studies in human and murine models revealed many functions of Orai1 proteins not only for Ca2+ homeostasis, but also for cellular and systemic functions in many cell...
