Abstract excerpt
Strict regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis is essential for normal cellular physiology. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a major mechanism controlling basal Ca2+ levels and intracellular Ca2+ store refilling, and abnormal SOCE severely impacts on human health. Overactive SOCE results in excessive extracellular Ca2+ entry due to dominant STIM1 or ORAI1 mutations and has been associated with tubular aggregate...
