BACKGROUND: The calcium sensing receptor (CASR) is a G protein-coupled receptor that is responsible for assessing extracellular Ca2+ levels and thus plays a crucial role in calcium homeostasis. Hypercalcemia is a metabolic risk factor for pancreatitis and rare CASR variants have been described in patients with chronic pancreatitis. At the carboxy-terminal tail of CASR, there is a cluster of three common...
