CaSR Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-CaSR Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

The protein encoded by CASR (calcium sensing receptor) is a G protein-coupled receptor that is expressed in the parathyroid hormone (PTH) -producing chief cells of the parathyroid gland, and the cells lining the kidney tubule. It senses small changes in circulating calcium concentration and couples this information to intracellular signaling pathways that modify PTH secretion or renal cation handling, thus this protein plays an essential role in maintaining mineral ion homeostasis. Mutations in CASR cause familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, familial, isolated hypoparathyroidism, and neonatal severe primary hyperparathyroidism.
