Abstract

The calcium-sensing receptor (CaS, provisional nomenclature as recommended by NC-IUPHAR [47] and subsequently updated [77]) responds to multiple endogenous ligands, including extracellular calcium and other divalent/trivalent cations, polyamines and polycationic peptides, L-amino acids (particularly L-Trp and L-Phe), glutathione and various peptide analogues, ionic strength and extracellular pH (reviewed in [78]). While divalent/trivalent cations, polyamines and polycations are CaS receptor agonists [14, 110], L-amino acids, glutamyl peptides, ionic strength and pH are allosteric modulators of agonist function [36, 47, 61, 108, 109]. Indeed, L-amino acids have been identified as "co-agonists", with both concomitant calcium and L-amino acid binding required for full receptor activation [148, 54]. The sensitivity of the CaS receptor to primary agonists is increased by elevated extracellular pH [18] or decreased extracellular ionic strength [109]. This receptor bears no sequence or structural relation to the plant calcium receptor, also called CaS.

As in any publication this work should be appropriately cited, and the papers it cites should also be recognized. This document provides a citation for the relevant parts of the database, and also provides a reference list for the research cited by those parts. For further details see [17].

Please note that the database version for the citations given in GtoPdb are to the most recent preceding version in which the family or its subfamilies and targets were substantially changed.
