Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Activating mutations in the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) gene cause autosomal dominant hypoparathyroidism, and heterozygous inactivating CASR mutations cause familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia. Recently, there has been a focus on the use of allosteric modulators to restore the functional activity of mutant CASRs. In this study, the effect of allosteric modulators NPS R-568 and NPS 2143 on CASR...
