Comment	ORAI1 is the gene that encodes the prototypical CRAC store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) channel. CRAC channels are activated by depletion of Ca²⁺ in the endop[lasmic reticulum that results from antigen-induced activation of a range of immunoreceptors/ (including TCRs, BCRs, Fcγ and Fcε receptors, chemokine GPCRs and some innate pattern-recognition receptors).
