STIM1 activation is regulated by a 14 amino acid sequence adjacent to the CRAC activation domain
{{output}}
Oligomerization of the Ca2+ sensor, STIM1, in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, caused by depletion of ER Ca2+ stores, results in STIM1 coupling to the plasma membrane Ca2+ channel protein, Orai1, to activate Ca2+ influx in a process known as store-oper... ...
