Lithium Sensitive ORAI1 Expression, Store Operated Ca2+ Entry and Suicidal Death of Neurons in Chorea-Acanthocytosis

Abstract Chorea-Acanthocytosis (ChAc), a neurodegenerative disorder, results from loss-of-function-mutations of chorein-encoding gene VPS13A. In tumour cells chorein up-regulates ORAI1, a Ca2+-channel accomplishing store operated Ca2+-entry (SOCE) upon stimulation by STIM1. Furthermore SOCE could be...
