Caption

The contractile responses of esophageal smooth muscle (SM) induced by platelet-activating factor (PAF) involve the activation of L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels (L-type VDCCs), receptor-operated calcium channels (ROCCs), and store-operated calcium channels (SOCCs), with Orai1 serving as a key component of the SOCC pathway.
