The store-operated calcium (Ca) entry (SOCE) pathway is an essential Ca signaling pathway in non-excitable cells that serve many physiological functions. SOCE is mediated through the plasma membrane (PM) protein, Orai1, and the endoplasmic reticulum protein, stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1). One of the most well-established methods to study SOCE is using the Ca-sensing dye, fura-2. Here we describe a detailed protocol on how to use fura-2 to study Ca signaling from SOCE in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells.
store-operated calcium (Ca) entry (SOCE)途径是一种在非兴奋性细胞中至关重要的Ca信号通路,这些细胞具有多种生理功能。SOCE是通过质膜(PM)蛋白Orai1和内质网蛋白基质相互作用分子1(STIM1)介导的。研究SOCE最成熟的方法之一是使用Ca传感染料fura-2。在这里,我们描述了一个详细的方案,说明如何使用fura-2来研究人胚肾(HEK)细胞中SOCE的Ca信号。
