The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a G-protein coupled receptor which senses extracellular levels of calcium ion. In the parathyroid gland, the calcium-sensing receptor controls calcium homeostasis by regulating the release of parathyroid hormone (PTH).[1]

Signal transduction

The release of PTH is inhibited in response to elevations in plasma calcium concentrations and activation of the calcium receptor. Decreased calcium binding on the extracellular side gives a conformation change in the receptor, which, on the intracellular side, initiates the phospholipase C pathway,[2][3] presumably through a G type of G protein, which ultimately increases intracellular concentration of calcium, which triggers vesicle fusion and exocytosis of parathyroid hormone. It also inhibits (not stimulates, as some[4] sources state) the cAMP dependent pathway.[3]

Pathology

Mutations that inactivate CASR cause familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) (also known as Familial Benign Hypercalcemia because it is generally asymptomatic and does not require treatment),[5] whereas mutations that activate CASR are the cause of autosomal dominant hypocalcemia.[6] An alternatively spliced transcript variant encoding 1088 aa has been found for this gene, but its full-length nature has not been defined.[7]

Therapeutic application

The drug cinacalcet is an allosteric modifier of the calcium-sensing receptor.[8] It is classified as a calcimimetic, which binds to the calcium-sensing receptor and decreases parathyroid hormone release.

Interactions

Calcium-sensing receptor has been shown to interact with Filamin.[9][10]
