Functional Proteins Involved in Regulation of Intracellular Ca2+ for Drug Development: The Extracellular Calcium Receptor and an Innovative Medical Approach to Control Secondary Hyperparathyroidism by Calcimimetics
Circulating levels of calcium ion (Ca2+) are maintained within a narrow physiological range mainly by the action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secreted from parathyroid cells. Parathyroid cells can sense small fluctuations in plasma Ca2+ levels by virtue of a cell surface Ca2+ receptor (CaR) that bel...
