Note

  • CALCIUM-BINDING PROTEINS is also available

Scope note

  • 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.

History note

  • 2004; CALCIUM-SENSING RECEPTOR (now RECEPTORS, CALCIUM-SENSING) was indexed under RECEPTORS, CELL SURFACE; for CALCIUM RECEPTORS use CALCIUM-BINDING PROTEINS 1982-2003; for RECEPTORS, CALCIUM use CALCIUM-BINDING PROTEINS 1996-2003
