MeSH definition : Small organic molecules that act as allosteric activators of the calcium sensing receptor
(CaSR) in the PARATHYROID GLANDS and other tissues. They lower the threshold for CaSR
activation by extracellular calcium ions and diminish PARATHYROID HORMONE (PTH) release
from parathyroid cells.;
MeSH synonym : agents, calcimimetic;
Wikipedia automatic translation : Calcimimetic;
