Abstract

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ store contains many rapidly differentiable subdomains with specialized signaling properties. Recent work highlights how an integral ER membrane protein - the sigma 1 receptor (S1R) - nucleates local formation of cholesterol-rich ER subdomains. Biophysical approaches cast new light on S1Rs and how their dynamics is impacted by drugs and disease states.
