store-operated Ca2+ channel involved in rhythmic firing of the flight motoneurons - physically interacts with the Ca2+ store sensor Stim (Stromal interaction molecule) to form the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
Low-frequency RNA-Seq exon junction(s) not annotated.

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).
Comment: maternally deposited
Orai-transcripts A and B are both detected in adult heads via RT-PCR.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.

S2R+ cells treated with dsRNA made from templates generated with primers against this gene show complete inhibition of thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ influx, but there is no effect on the filling state of Ca2+ stores.
Treatment of S2 cells with dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene inhibits both the early and sustained components of Ca2+ entry evoked by thapsigargin at the single-cell level. In the majority of treated cells, Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ current is completely suppressed.

The gene is named "Orai" - in Greek mythology, the Orai are keepers of the gates of heaven: Eunomia (Order or Harmony), Dike (Justice) and Eirene (Peace).
Named 'Orai' because, in Greek mythology, the Orai are the keepers of the gates of heaven, and the Orai protein is an essential component of the store-operated Ca[2+] entry mechanism.
