R-568 is a positive allosteric modulator of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), increasing the sensitivity to activation by extracellular Ca2+. In rats, orally administered R-568 decreases plasma levels of PTH and Ca2+ and, at higher doses, increases plasma levels of calcitonin.

Over 257 mutations in the human calcium-sensing receptor (hCaSR) gene have been reported. Heterozygous inactivating mutations can result in familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH), whereas homozygous inactivating mutations can cause life-threatening neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT). Activating mutations in the hCaSR can
The mechanisms underlying neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation in prostate cancer (PCa) remain mostly uncharacterized. Since a deregulated calcium homeostasis has been reported in neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), we explored herein the link between NE differentiation and the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR). CaSR

Vascular calcification (VC) is a risk factor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD-mineral and bone metabolism disorder is an important problem in patients with renal failure. Abnormal levels of serum phosphate and calcium

The inverse correlation between dietary calcium intake and the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) is well known, but poorly understood. Expression of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), a calcium-binding G protein-coupled receptor is downregulated in CRC leading us to hypothesize that
