    A novel mechanism for the store-operated calcium influx pathway

    Activation of store-operated channels (SOCs) and capacitative calcium influx are triggered by depletion of intracellular calcium stores. However, the exact molecular mechanism of such communication remains unc...

    Phospholipase A2 as a Molecular Determinant of Store-Operated Calcium Entry

    Activation of phospholipases A2 (PLA2) leads to the generation of biologically active lipid products that can affect numerous cellular events. Ca2+-independent PLA2 (iPLA2), also called group VI phospholipase A2,...

    Regulation of Platelet Function by Orai, STIM and TRP

    Agonist-induced changes in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c) are central events in platelet physiology. A major mechanism supporting agonist-induced Ca2+ signals is store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), where th...

    Molecular Basis and Regulation of Store-Operated Calcium Entry

    Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a ubiquitous mechanism for Ca2+ influx in mammalian cells with important physiological implications. Since the discovery of SOCE more than three decades ago, the mechanism that...

    Pathophysiological Significance of Store-Operated Calcium Entry in Cardiovascular and Skeletal Muscle Disorders and Angiogenesis

    Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry (SOCE) is an important Ca2+ influx pathway expressed by several excitable and non-excitable cell types. SOCE is recognized as relevant signaling pathway not only for physiological proces...

    Orai1α, but not Orai1β, co-localizes with TRPC1 and is required for its plasma membrane location and activation in HeLa cells

    The identification of two variants of the canonical pore-forming subunit of the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel Orai1, Orai1α and Orai1β, in mammalian cells arises the question whether they exhibit dif...
