Store-independent pathways for cytosolic STIM1 clustering in the regulation of store-operated Ca2+ influx (2012)
Journal Article
Zeng, B., Chen, G.-L., & Xu, S. Z. (2012). Store-independent pathways for cytosolic STIM1 clustering in the regulation of store-operated Ca2+ influx. Biochemical Pharmacology, 84(8), 1024-1035. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bcp.2012.07.013

STIM1 is a Ca 2+ sensing molecule. Once the Ca 2+ stores are depleted, STIM1 moves towards the plasma membrane (PM) (translocation), forms puncta (clustering), and triggers store-operated Ca 2+ entry (SOCE). Although this process has been regarded as... Read More about Store-independent pathways for cytosolic STIM1 clustering in the regulation of store-operated Ca2+ influx.
