description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable store-operated calcium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in store-operated calcium entry. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including foregut; nervous system; nose; skin; and tooth. Orthologous to human ORAI2 (ORAI calcium release-activated calcium modulator 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous KO mice show increased SOCE (store-operated Ca2+ entry) through CRAC (Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+) channels in T cells and higher CRAC currents. [provided by MGI curators] |
