title: Calcium signalling: store-operated channel found at last.
abstract: The intestinal Ca(2+) transport protein CaT1 has recently been shown to have the biophysical characteristics of the Ca(2+)-release activated Ca(2+) channel that refills internal Ca(2+) stores following agonist-elicited release. This finding highlights a hitherto unrecognized link between epithelial Ca(2+) transport and Ca(2+) signalling.
