Store-operated calcium (Ca<sup>2+</sup>) entry (SOCE) in skeletal muscle is rapidly activated across the tubular system during direct activation of Ca<sup>2+</sup> release. The tubular system is the invagination of the plasma membrane that forms junctions with the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) where STIM1, Orai1 and ryanodine receptors are found. The physiological activation of SOCE in muscle is not defined, thus clouding its physiological role. Here we show that the magnitude of a phasic tubular ...[more]
