متن کاملUnlocking SOAR releases STIM.
A crucial component of the receptor-evoked Ca(2+) signal is Ca(2+) influx mediated by the store-operated Ca(2+) channels (SOCs). The molecular makeup of one SOC is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) sensor STIM1 and the pore-forming Orai1. Ca(2+) release from the ER leads to co-clustering of STIM1 and Orai1 to activate Orai1. The short STIM1 SOAR/CAD domain (STIM1 Orai1-activating region/CRA...
