Recent advances in understanding the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor [version 1; referees: 3 approved]

The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR), a ubiquitous class C G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), is responsible for the control of calcium homeostasis in body fluids. It integrates information about external Ca2+ and a surfeit of other endogenous ligands into multiple intracellular signals,...
