Background:  Orai1 (ORAI calcium release-activated calcium modulator 1), also known as ORAT1, CRACM1 (calcium release-activated calcium modulator 1) or TMEM142A (transmembrane protein 142A), is a 301 amino acid multi-pass membrane protein that belongs to the Orai family of proteins. Localizing to the plasma membrane, Orai1 plays an important role in store-operated calcium (SOC) entry, a process involving Ca2+ influx and replenishment of Ca2+ stores formerly emptied through the action of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production and other Ca2+ mobilizing agents. Specifically, Orai1 functions as a pore subunit of the store-operated calcium release-activated calcium channel (CRAC) and is essential for proper function of the CRAC channel. CRAC channels are responsible for mediating calcium influx in T-cells and play an important role in the immune response. Mutations in the gene encoding Orai1 can result in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).
