The enigma of store-operated Ca<sup style='font-size:13px;'>2+</sup>-entry in neurons: answers from the <i>Drosophila</i> flight circuit
In neurons a well-defined source of signaling Ca2+ is the extracellular medium. However, as in all metazoan cells, Ca2+ is also stored in endoplasmic reticular compartments inside neurons. The relevance of these stores in neuronal function has been debatable. The Orai gene encodes a channel that hel...
