STIM1 activation is regulated by a 14 amino acid sequence adjacent to the CRAC activation domain

Oligomerization of the Ca<sup>2+ </sup>sensor, STIM1, in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, caused by depletion of ER Ca<sup>2+</sup> stores, results in STIM1 coupling to the plasma membrane Ca<sup>2+ </sup>channel protein, Orai1, to activate Ca<sup>2+...
