Abstract excerpt
Specialized cells (i.e., parathyroid chief cells) that sense changes in the extracellular calcium concentration are a key element in mineral ion homeostasis. The Ca2+o-sensing receptor (CaR) originally cloned from bovine parathyroid is also present in multiple nephron segments involved in Ca2+o homeostasis as well as in other sites that are not, such as brain, lung, large and small intestine. The physiological...
