Exact synonym

SOCE, capacitative calcium entry, store-operated calcium import

Description

A calcium ion entry mechanism in the plasma membrane activated by the depletion of calcium ion from the internal calcium ion store in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Comment

SOCE is initiated by response to stiumlation of membrane receptors leading to the hydrolysis ofphosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) generation, and IP3-mediated calcium ion release from the endoplasmic reticulum.
