The role of plasma membrane STIM1 and Ca2 +entry in platelet aggregation. STIM1 binds to novel proteins in human platelets

Ca2 + elevation is essential to platelet activation. STIM1 senses Ca2 + in the endoplasmic reticulum and activates Orai channels allowing store-operated Ca2 + entry (SOCE). STIM1 has also been reported to be present in the plasma membrane (PM) with its N-terminal region exposed to the outside medium...
