Abstract

Extracellular Ca2+ concentration [Ca2+]o is vital for a number of processes varying from blood clotting to regulation membrane permeability and excitability. For this reason [Ca2+]o is under strict control of a complex homeostatic system that includes parathyroid glands, kidneys, bones and intestine. The extracellular Ca2+-sensing receptor is an essential component of this system, regulating parathyroid hormone secretion, Ca2+ (and Mg2+) excretion by the kidney, bone remodeling and Ca2+ reabsorption by the gastrointestinal tract. The Ca2+-sensing receptor is also present in organs without an obvious link with mineral ion metabolism. This review will describe the discovery of a novel class of ion-sensing receptor(s), receptor–effector coupling and the roles of the Ca2+-sensing receptor inside and outside the Ca2+o homeostatic system.
