Abstract

Allergic skin disease is the most common skin condition, and considerably affects patients' life quality because of its recurrence and pruritus. Numbers of studies point out that immune cells, including mast cells and T cells, play pathogenic roles in allergic skin diseases, and share similarities in the activation and secretion of cytokines. Calcium Release-Activated Calcium Modulator 1(CRACM1/ORAI1) is a subtype of Ca2+ membrane channel, causing Ca2+ influx into the cells. As a second messenger, Ca2+ is an essential element that regulates immune responses, especially in the development and function of T and B cells. Thus, ORAI1 is considered to participate in allergic diseases. However, the specific mechanism of ORAI1 in skin disorders is still unclear. In order to investigate the roles of ORAI1 in allergic skin disorders, we reviewed the related articles and concluded that ORAI1 could be a potential therapeutic target for allergic skin diseases.
