Abstract excerpt
The calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is responsible for the regulation of extracellular calcium (Ca(2+) (o)) homeostasis. CaR activation has been shown to increase proliferation in several cancer cell lines; however, its presence or function has never been documented in lung cancer. We report that Ca(2+) (o)-activated CaR results in MAPK-mediated stimulation of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) production...
