In response to decreasing Ca2+ levels in the endoplasmic reticulum, STIM proteins couple with Orai channels in the plasma membrane, leading to Ca2+ influx into the cell. In addition to Ca2+-related endoplasmic reticulum stress, STIM proteins are emerging as general stress sensors that react to multiple stress signals to orchestrate Ca2+ signaling and homeostasis.
针对内质网中钙离子水平的降低,STIM 蛋白与质膜中的 Orai 通道偶联,导致钙离子内流入细胞。除了与钙离子相关的内质网应激外,STIM 蛋白还作为一般应激传感器出现,它们可以对多种应激信号做出反应,从而协调钙离子信号和稳态。
