CaSR

Calcium-sensing receptor

The extracellular CaSR (calcium-sensing receptor is a unique G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activated by extracellular Ca2+ and by other physiological cations including Mg2+, amino acids, and polyamines. CaSR is the most important master controller of the extracellular Ca2+ homeostatic system being expressed at high levels in the parathyroid gland, kidney, gut, and bone, where it regulates parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, vitamin D synthesis, and Ca2+ absorption and resorption, respectively. Gain and loss of function mutations in the CaSR are responsible for severe disturbances in extracellular Ca2+ metabolism.

The CaSR stimulates two major signal transduction cascades. The first is the Gq/11-phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated generation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), which induces a rapid rise in intracellular calcium (Ca2+i) concentrations. The second is the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), such as extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), which phosphorylate proteins mediating cytosolic signaling and translocate into the nucleus to activate transcription factors involved in cellular proliferation and differentiation. The CaSR has been shown to activate MAPK signaling in a manner that depends on the G proteins Gq/11, and Gi/o, which inhibits cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) synthesis, and by a potentially G protein-independent mechanism involving β-arrestin types 1 and 2.
