Anti-CaSR Antibody

Our Anti-CaSR rabbit polyclonal primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects human, mouse, and rat CaSR and is antigen affinity purified from pooled serum. It is great for use in WB.

Product Specifications

Background

Calcium sensing receptor, CaSR, is a unique G protein-coupled receptor activated by extracellular Ca2+, Mg2+, Sr2+, Mn2+, Ba2+, Ni2+, Al2+, Gd3+, amino acids, polyamines, pH and ionic strength (Quinn, S.J. et al., 1998) . CaSR is a cell surface dimer located in the caveolin-rich plasma membrane domains (Kifor, O., et al., 1998) . CaSR tightly regulates extracellular calcium levels to avoid hyper/hypo-calcemia through complex interactions with PTH, calcitonin, and vitamin D by balancing their effects on the parathyroid glands, bone, kidney, and intestine (Díaz-Soto, G. et al., 2016) . Additionally, CaSR has been identified in the nervous system and recent studies suggest CaSR as a direct target of reducing Aβ42 secretion that may contribute to Alzheimer’s Disease (Armato, U., et al., 2013) . Recent studies have shown CaSR negatively impacts the formation and progression of neuroblastomas by calcium exposure leading NB cells overexpressing CaSR to undergo apoptosis by means of activating ERK1/2 (Casalà, C., et al., 2013) .
