Abstract excerpt
The recent cloning of an extracellular calcium (Ca2+o)-sensing receptor (CaR) from parathyroid, kidney and other cell types has clarified the mechanisms through which Ca2+o exerts its direct actions on various cells and tissues. In the parathyroid, the CaR mediates the inhibitory effects of Ca2+o...
