UniProt functional annotation for Q96BY9

UniProt code: Q96BY9.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Negative regulator of store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) involved in protecting cells from Ca(2+) overfilling. In response to cytosolic Ca(2+) elevation after endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) refilling, promotes a slow inactivation of STIM (STIM1 or STIM2)- dependent SOCE activity: possibly act by facilitating the deoligomerization of STIM to efficiently turn off ORAI when the endoplasmic reticulum lumen is filled with the appropriate Ca(2+) levels, and thus preventing the overload of the cell with excessive Ca(2+) ions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22464749}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with STIM1; the interaction is inhibit by th interaction of STIM1 with EFHB. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22464749, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30481768}.
Subcellular location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22464749}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22464749}. Note=Translocates to the endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane (ER-PM) region in a STIM1-dependent manner following cytosolic Ca(2+) elevation.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 2]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Highly expressed in macrophages. {ECO:0000269|Ref.2}.
Domain: The cytoplasmic C-terminal region mediates interaction with STIM1, while the N-terminal lumenal region mediates regulation of SOCE activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22464749}.
Similarity: Belongs to the SARAF family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAD44487.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
