- Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is required for sweat gland function in humans and mice.
- Defects in ORAI1 and STIM1 abolish SOCE and cause anhidrosis.
- SOCE controls activation of Ca2+-activated Clâ channels (CaCC).
- CaCC function in human sweat gland cells is mediated by TMEM16A.
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a conserved mechanism of Ca2+ influx that regulates Ca2+ signaling in many cell types. SOCE is activated by depletion of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ stores in response to physiological agonist stimulation. After it was first postulated by J.W. Putney Jr. in 1986, SOCE has been described in a large number of non-excitable cell types including secretory cells of different exocrine glands. Here we discuss the mechanisms by which SOCE controls salt and fluid secretion in exocrine glands, with a special focus on eccrine sweat glands. In sweat glands, SOCE plays an important, non-redundant role in regulating the function of Ca2+-activated Clâ channels (CaCC), Clâ secretion and sweat production. In the absence of key regulators of SOCE such as the CRAC channel pore subunit ORAI1 and its activator STIM1, the Ca2+-activated chloride channel TMEM16A is inactive and fails to secrete Clâ, resulting in anhidrosis in mice and human patients.
