Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have demonstrated a gain-of-function of the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) gene R990G polymorphism. In this study, activation of the R990G CASR stably transfected in HEK-293 (HEK-990G) cells compared with that of the common variant (HEK-wild-type (WT)) by increasing concentrations of CaCl(2) or calcimimetic R-568 caused significantly higher intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i))...
