An examination of the secretion-like coupling model for the activation of the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ current I(CRAC) in RBL-1 cells.

One popular model for the activation of store-operated Ca2+ influx is the secretion-like coupling mechanism, in which peripheral endoplasmic reticulum moves to the plasma membrane upon store depletion thereby enabling inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptors on the stores to bind to, and thus...
