Tumor-Specific Decreased Expression of Calcium Sensing Receptor Messenger Ribonucleic Acid in Sporadic Primary Hyperparathyroidism<sup>1</sup>
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
Secretion of PTH is regulated by extracellular calcium via calcium receptors (CaR) on the parathyroid cell surface. Recent studies have shown a decreased expression of CaR messenger RNA (mRNA) and CaR protein in pathological parathyroids. We studied the expression of CaR mRNA in pairs of adenoma and adenoma-associated normal gland from the same patients (n = 17) and in biopsies of normal parathyroid glands of...
