The calcium-sensing-receptor (CaSR) is a G-protein-coupled receptor that plays a fundamental role in extracellular calcium homeostasis, but is also implicated in non-calcitropic disorders including colon cancer and asthma. In addition, CaSR is highly expressed in pancreatic islets where it has a role in insulin secretion. Patients with gain-of-function CaSR mutations, and mice (referred to as Nuf) with a gain-of-function CaSR mutation (Leu723Gln), develop autosomal dominant hy...
