Name | STIM2 |

Synonyms | KIAA1482 |
Function | Plays a role in mediating store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE), a Ca(2+) influx following depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. Functions as a highly sensitive Ca(2+) sensor in the endoplasmic reticulum which activates both store-operated and store-independent Ca(2+)-influx. Regulates basal cytosolic and endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) concentrations. Upon mild variations of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) concentration, translocates from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane where it probably activates the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels ORAI1, ORAI2 and ORAI3. May inhibit STIM1-mediated Ca(2+) influx. |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Note=Dynamically translocates from a uniform endoplasmic reticulum distribution to punctual endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane junctions in response to decrease in endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) concentration |
Tissue Location | Expressed in all tissues and tumor cell lines examined. |

Background
This gene is a member of the stromal interaction molecule(STIM) family and likely arose, along with related family memberSTIM1, from a common ancestral gene. The encoded protein functionsto regulate calcium concentrations in the cytosol and endoplasmicreticulum, and is involved in the activation of plasma membraneOrai Ca(2+) entry channels. This gene initiates translation from anon-AUG (UUG) start site. A signal peptide is cleaved from theresulting protein. Multiple transcript variants result fromalternative splicing.
