Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is a ubiquitous mechanism that is mediated by distinct
SOC channels, ranging from the highly selective calcium release-activated Ca 2+(CRAC)
channel in rat basophilic leukemia and other hematopoietic cells to relatively Ca 2+-
selective or non-selective SOC channels in other cells. Although the exact composition of
these channels is not yet established, TRPC1 contributes to SOC channels and regulation of
physiological function of a variety of cell types. Recently, Orai1 and STIM1 have been …
