Function |
Negative regulator of store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) involved in protecting cells from Ca(2+) overfilling. In response to cytosolic Ca(2+) elevation after endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) refilling, promotes a slow inactivation of STIM (STIM1 or STIM2)- dependent SOCE activity: possibly act by facilitating the deoligomerization of STIM to efficiently turn off ORAI when the endoplasmic reticulum lumen is filled with the appropriate Ca(2+) levels, and thus preventing the overload of the cell with excessive Ca(2+) ions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22464749}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22464749}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22464749}. Note=Translocates to the endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane (ER-PM) region in a STIM1- dependent manner following cytosolic Ca(2+) elevation.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in macrophages. {ECO:0000269|Ref.2}.
