<h4>Background</h4>Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), a Ca2+ sensor in the endoplasmic reticulum, regulates store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) that is essential for Ca2+ homeostasis in many types of cells. However, if and how STIM1 and SOCE function in nerve growth cones during axon guidance remains to be elucidated.<h4>Results</h4>We report that STIM1 and transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1)-dependent SOCE operates in Xenopus spinal growth cones to regulate Ca2+ signaling and guida ...[more]
