Function | Acts as a Ca(2+) sensor that gates two major inward rectifying Ca(2+) channels at the plasma membrane: Ca(2+) release- activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels and arachidonate-regulated Ca(2+)- selective (ARC) channels (PubMed:15866891, PubMed:16005298, PubMed:16208375, PubMed:16537481, PubMed:16733527, PubMed:16766533, PubMed:16807233, PubMed:18854159, PubMed:19182790, PubMed:19249086, PubMed:19622606, PubMed:19706554, PubMed:22464749, PubMed:24069340, PubMed:24351972, PubMed:24591628, PubMed:25326555, PubMed:26322679, PubMed:28219928, PubMed:32415068). Plays a role in mediating store- operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE), a Ca(2+) influx following depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. Upon Ca(2+) depletion, translocates from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane where it activates CRAC channel pore-forming subunits ORA1, ORA2 and ORAI3 to generate sustained and oscillatory Ca(2+) entry (PubMed:16208375, PubMed:16537481, PubMed:32415068). Involved in enamel formation (PubMed:24621671). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Sarcoplasmic reticulum. Note=Translocates from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell membrane in response to a depletion of intracellular calcium and is detected at punctae corresponding to junctions between the endoplasmic reticulum and the cell membrane (PubMed:16005298, PubMed:16208375, PubMed:18854159, PubMed:19182790, PubMed:19249086). Associated with the microtubule network at the growing distal tip of microtubules (PubMed:19632184). Colocalizes with ORAI1 at the cell membrane (PubMed:27185316). Colocalizes preferentially with CASQ1 at endoplasmic reticulum in response to a depletion of intracellular calcium (PubMed:27185316) |
Tissue Location | Ubiquitously expressed in various human primary cells and tumor cell lines. |

Background
STIM1 Antibody: In T lymphocytes, the sole pathway for Ca2+ entry following antigen-receptor binding is through store-operated Ca2+-release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels. These channels are made up of the pore-forming subunit ORAI1 and the stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), a protein that functions as a Ca2+ sensor and activates the CRAC channels, migrating to the plasma membrane from endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-like sites which act as the Ca2+ store. A related molecule, STIM2, acts to inhibit the STIM1-mediated store-operated Ca2+ entry, and can form complexes with STIM1, suggesting they may play a coordinated role in controlling Ca2+ entry.
