Name: | Receptors, Calcium-Sensing |
---|---|
Description: | A class of G-protein-coupled receptors that react to varying extracellular CALCIUM levels. Calcium-sensing receptors in the PARATHYROID GLANDS play an important role in the maintenance of calcium HOMEOSTASIS by regulating the release of PARATHYROID HORMONE. They differ from INTRACELLULAR CALCIUM-SENSING PROTEINS which sense intracellular calcium levels. |
Synonyms: |
Extracellular Calcium Ion Sensing Receptor; Calcium Sensing Receptor; Calcium Sensing Receptors; Ca-Sensing Receptor; Calcium Sensing Receptor Protein; Receptors, Calcium; Receptors, Calcium Sensing; Receptor, Calcium-Sensing; Ca2+-Sensing Receptor; Calcium Receptors.
