Stromal interaction molecule 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STIM1 gene.[1][2][3] STIM1 has a single transmembrane domain, and is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum, and to a lesser extent to the plasma membrane.[4]

Even though the protein has been identified earlier, its function was unknown until recently. In 2005, it was discovered that STIM1 functions as a calcium sensor in the endoplasmic reticulum.<ref name=pmid"15866891">Roos J, DiGregorio PJ, Yeromin AV, Ohlsen K, Lioudyno M, Zhang S, Safrina O, Kozak JA, Wagner SL, Cahalan MD, Veliçelebi G, Stauderman KA. (2005). "STIM1, an essential and conserved component of store-operated Ca2+ channel function". J.Cell.Biol. 169 (3): 435–45. doi:10.1083/jcb.200502019. PMC 2171946. PMID 15866891.</ref>[5] Upon activation of the IP3 receptor, the calcium concentration in the endoplasmic reticulum decreases, which is sensed by STIM1, via its EF hand domain. STIM1 activates the "store-operated" ORAI1 calcium ion channels in the plasma membrane, via intracellular STIM1 movement, clustering under plasma membrane and protein protein interaction with ORAI isoforms.[6] 2-Aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) and 4-chloro-3-ethylphenol (4-CEP) cause STIM1 clustering in a cell and prevent STIM1 moving toward plasma membrane.[7]

Interactions

STIM1 has been shown to interact with STIM2.[2]
