Summary: | Cell proliferation is orchestrated through diverse proteins related to calcium (Ca2+) signaling inside the cell. Cellular Ca2+ influx that occurs first by various mechanisms at the plasma membrane, is then followed by absorption of Ca2+ ions by mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, and, finally, there is a connection of calcium stores to the nucleus. Experimental evidence indicates that the fluctuation of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum provides a pivotal and physiological role for cell proliferation. Ca2+ depletion in the endoplasmatic reticulum triggers Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane in an phenomenon called store-operated calcium entries (SOCEs). SOCE is activated through a complex interplay between a Ca2+ sensor, denominated STIM, localized in the endoplasmic reticulum and a Ca2+ channel at the cell membrane, denominated Orai. The interplay between STIM and Orai proteins with cell membrane receptors and their role in cell proliferation is discussed in this review.
