Abstract excerpt
The calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) is a Family C/3 G protein-coupled receptor that translates changes in extracellular Ca(2+) into diverse intracellular signals. Loss-of-function mutations in human CaSR cause familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia and neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism. CaSR must navigate a number of endoplasmic reticulum quality control checkpoints during biosynthesis, including a...
