Visualisation and identification of the interaction between STIM1s in resting cells.

Store-operated Ca(2+) channels are a major Ca(2+) entry pathway in nonexcitable cells, which drive various essential cellular functions. Recently, STIM1 and Orai proteins have been identified as the major molecular components of the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel. As the key subunit...
