“…ECCE causes Ca 2+ influx in response to physiological triggers [ 17 , 18 ]. In addition, a mechanism triggered by depletion of intracellular Ca 2+ stores (endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum, ER and SR), known as store-operated Ca 2+ entry (SOCE) [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ], was also reported in skeletal muscle [ 23 ]. SOCE is a pathway mainly mediated by the interaction between (a) stromal interaction molecule-1 (STIM1), a protein placed in the ER/SR membrane, which has an intra-luminal domain that acts as Ca 2+ sensor; and (b) Orai1, a protein that mediates Ca 2+ release-activated (CRAC) current and is placed in external membranes or TTs [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ].…”
