ORAI1 ORAI calcium release-activated calcium modulator 1

Gene ID: 84876, updated on 13-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: IMD9; TAM2; ORAT1; CRACM1; TMEM142A

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane calcium channel subunit that is activated by the calcium sensor STIM1 when calcium stores are depleted. This type of channel is the primary way for calcium influx into T-cells. Defects in this gene are a cause of immune dysfunction with T-cell inactivation due to calcium entry defect type 1 (IDTICED1).
