Anti-Stromal interaction molecule 1 antibody (ab240592)

Plays a role in mediating Ca(2+) influx following depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. Acts as Ca(2+) sensor in the endoplasmic reticulum via its EF-hand domain. Upon Ca(2+) depletion, translocates from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane where it activates the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel subunit, TMEM142A/ORAI1.

Ubiquitously expressed in various human primary cells and tumor cell lines.

Defects in STIM1 are the cause of immune dysfunction with T-cell inactivation due to calcium entry defect type 2 (IDTICED2) [MIM:612783]. IDTICED2 is an immune disorder characterized by recurrent infections, impaired T-cell activation and proliferative response, decreased T-cell production of cytokines, lymphadenopathy, and normal lymphocytes counts and serum immunoglobulin levels. Additional features include thrombocytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, non-progressive myopathy, partial iris hypoplasia, hepatosplenomegaly and defective enamel dentition.

Contains 1 EF-hand domain.
Contains 1 SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain.

The microtubule tip localization signal (MtLS) motif; mediates interaction with MAPRE1 and targeting to the growing microtubule plus ends.

Glycosylation is required for cell surface expression.
Phosphorylated predominantly on Ser residues.

Cell membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Translocates from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell membrane in response to a depletion of intracellular calcium. Associated with the microtubule network at the growing distal tip of microtubules.
