  • single-pass type 1 membrane protein
  • sensors of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) luminal Ca2+ changes and rapidly translocate into near plasma membrane (PM) junctions to activate Ca2+ entry
  • expressed in the lysosome-related organelles and dense granules in human platelets
  • exists in at least three distinct functional forms that reside in the ER and in the cytosol
  • basic FUNCTION
  • inhibiting STIM1-mediated Ca(2+) influx
  • involved in negative regulation of calcium ion transport via store-operated calcium channel
  • having two distinct modes of activating Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ channels
  • transmembrane endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ sensors, coupling directly to activate plasma membrane ORAI1 Ca2+ entry channels
  • play a relevant role in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis as a feedback regulator that stabilizes resting cytosolic and ER Ca2+ concentrations
  • both STIM1 and STIM2 have a capacity to bind to a chaperone, calnexin as well as two protein-transporters, exportin1 and transportin1
  • potential functional role for STIM1 and STIM2 located in the acidic Ca2+ stores
  • expression of STIM1 and STIM2 in acidic organelles that function as agonist-sensitive Ca2+ stores
  • unlike STIM1, STIM2 can regulate ORAI1 in a store-dependent and store-independent manner
  • STIM2 signal peptide functions to augment NF-KB-mediated gene transcription after its release as a &
  • 8764;91-aa SPF into the cytosol
  • potential role for STIM1, STIM2 proteins and T-cell function in the pathogenesis of Sjögren syndrome
  • STIM1 and STIM2 Ca2+ sensors oligomerize upon Ca2+ depletion in the ER lumen, contact phosphoinositides at the PM via their cytosolic lysine (K)-rich domains, and activate Ca2+ channels
  • STIM1 and STIM2 are endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) sensor proteins able to translocate within the ER membrane to physically couple with and gate plasma membrane ORAI1 Ca(2+) channels
  • STIM1, STIM2, and ORAI1 regulate store-operated calcium entry and purinergic activation of microglia
  • is a central organizer of excitatory synapses, and influences the formation of dendritic spines and shapes basal synaptic transmission in excitatory neurons
  • unique mechanism of synaptic plasticity driven by dynamic assembly of a STIM2 signaling complex at ER-plasma membrane (PM) contact sites
  • protects hippocampal mushroom spines from amyloid synaptotoxicity

  • binding to STIM1
  • dynamic interplay between 2 membrane proteins, STIM1 and 2 and ORAI1 to 3, underlies an intricate coupling between Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stores and Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane
  • associates with ORAI1 and ATP2A3 upon discharge of the acidic Ca2+ stores in human platelets (
  • preSTIM2 and ORAI1 synergize to regulate constitutive Ca2+ entry
  • SARAF, with STIM2, may act on a similar Ca2+ permeation pathway
  • STIM2 enhances agonist-mediated activation of SOCE by promoting STIM1 clustering in ER-PM junctions at low stimulus intensities
  • SYT1 can suppress Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE)-mediated spontaneous release, and STIM2 is required for the increase in spontaneous release seen during SYT1 loss of function
