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. |
