Determining the role of the calcium sensing receptor in vascular smooth muscle cells via targeted gene deletion

The extracellular-Ca2+ sensing receptor (CaSR) is a G protein-coupled receptor which is essential for Ca2+ homeostasis in the body. The best studied function of the CaSR lies in the parathyroid gland, where hypercalcaemia activates the receptor which in consequence inhibits parathyroid hormone secre...
