General annotation (Comments)

Function	Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel subunit which mediates Ca2+ influx following depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores and channel activation by the Ca2+ sensor, STIM1. CRAC channels are the main pathway for Ca2+ influx in T-cells and promote the immune response to pathogens by activating the transcription factor NFAT. Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.10
Subunit structure	Interacts with STIM1 and STIM2. Ref.8
Subcellular location	Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Ref.7 Ref.10
Involvement in disease	Defects in ORAI1 are a cause of severe combined immunodeficiency with CRAC channel dysfunction (CRAC-SCID) [MIM:610277]. SCID refers to a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of rare congenital disorders characterized by impairment of both humoral and cell-mediated immunity, leukopenia, and low or absent antibody levels. Patients with SCID present in infancy with recurrent, persistent infections by opportunistic organisms. The common characteristic of all types of SCID is absence of T-cell-mediated cellular immunity due to a defect in T-cell development. Ref.10 Ref.3
Miscellaneous	In Greek mythology, the 'Orai' are the keepers of the gates of heaven: Eunomia (order or harmony), Dike (justice) and Eirene (peace).
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the Orai family.
