| Scientific Background: | Cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) has long been known to act as a key second messenger in many intracellular pathways including synaptic transmission, muscle contraction, hormonal secretion, cell growth and proliferation. The mechanism controlling intracellular Ca2+ level influx either by the calcium-release-activated Ca2+ channels (CRAC), or from intracellular stores, has become of great interest to researchers. Several key players of the store operated complex have been identified. Orai1 (also known as CRACM1) acts as the store operated calcium channel (SOC) and STIM1, which acts as the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ sensor. The formation of functional channels by Orai1 requires the presence of both Orai1 and STIM1 proteins working as a complex that involves the co-clustering of Orai1 on the plasma membrane with STIM1 on the endoplasmic reticulum. |

| Technical Info/Product Notes: | Preadsorption control: 1µg peptide per 1µg antibody. Prepare 2 tubes. In the first, dilute the necessary amount of antibody in 200-500µl of PBS, 1% BSA and 0.025% sodium azide. Prepare the second tube identically to the first with the addition of the appropriate amount of peptide. Incubate at room temperature for 1 hr. Centrifuge both tubes at 10,000Xg for 5 min. Use the supernatants from tubes 1 and 2 for parallel experiments. |
