Anti-Orai1 Antibody, Intracellular

TRP (transient receptor potential)-related ion channels (TRPCs) have been postulated as candidates for forming both receptor-operated (ROCE) and capacitative Ca2+ entry channels across the plasma membrane. ER transmembrane protein STIM1 senses the depletion of Ca2+ from ER stores. Orai, a regulatory β-subunit of the TRPC ion channel α-subunit, transduces the STIM1 signal into activation of the TRPC. Thus, Orai proteins by interacting with TRPCs act as regulatory subunits that confer STIM1-mediated store depletion sensitivity to these channels and regulate Ca2+ influx through the plasma membrane.

ORai1, intracellular. Detects both the glycosylated and unglycosylated forms of ORai1. By Western blot the antibody reacts with the ~ 50 kDa ORai1 protein. Additional bands between 35 and 50 kDa may be seen if analyzing overexpressed ORai1. These additional bands most likely represent different degrees of glycosylation of ORai1
