Definition
English
:
A class of G-protein-coupled receptors that react to varying extracellular
CALCIUM
levels. Calcium-sensing receptors in the
PARATHYROID GLANDS
play an important
role
in the
maintenance
of
calcium
HOMEOSTASIS
by regulating the release of
PARATHYROID HORMONE
. They differ from
INTRACELLULAR CALCIUM-SENSING PROTEINS
which sense intracellular
calcium
levels.
