Preferred Label : receptors, calcium-sensing;
MeSH definition : 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.;
