Calcium sensing by the STIM1 ER-luminal domain

Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) monitors ER-luminal Ca2 + levels to maintain cellular Ca2 + balance. Here the authors find that the STIM1 luminal domain monomer has multiple Ca2 + - binding sites which set the threshold for physiological activation of STIM1 in cells.
