Target Name

SARAF

Target Full Name

Store-operated calcium entry-associated regulatory factor

Target 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.

Target Subcellular Location

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Note=Translocates to the endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane (ER-PM) region in a STIM1-dependent manner following cytosolic Ca(2+) elevation.; [Isoform 2]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
