STIM1, also named as GOK, is an ER Ca2+ sensor. Upon Ca2+ store depletion, STIM1 clusters at ERplasma membrane junctions where it interacts with and gates Ca2+-permeable Orai1 ion channels. STIM1 is implicated in tumor growth suppression and stromal-haematopoietic cell interactions. Defacts in STIM1 gene can cause immune dysfunction with impaired T-cell activation. STIM1 can inhibit L-type voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels in neurons. Temperature is an important regulator of STIM1 function.The MW of STIM1 is about 80-90 kDa which may be due to the phosphorylation or glycosylation forms. This antibody is rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against the N-terminal of human STIM1.

Description
Plays a role in mediating store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE), a Ca(2+) influx following depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores (PubMed:15866891, PubMed:16005298, PubMed:16208375, PubMed:16537481, PubMed:16733527, PubMed:16766533, PubMed:16807233, PubMed:18854159, PubMed:19249086, PubMed:22464749, PubMed:24069340, PubMed:24351972, PubMed:24591628, PubMed:26322679, PubMed:25326555). Acts as Ca(2+) sensor in the endoplasmic reticulum via its EF-hand domain. Upon Ca(2+) depletion, translocates from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane where it activates the Ca(2+) release- activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel subunit ORAI1 (PubMed:16208375, PubMed:16537481). Involved in enamel formation (PubMed:24621671). Activated following interaction with TMEM110/STIMATE, leading to promote STIM1 conformational switch (PubMed:26322679).
