| Target Function |
G-protein-coupled receptor that senses changes in the extracellular concentration of calcium ions and plays a key role in maintaining calcium homeostasis. Senses fluctuations in the circulating calcium concentration and modulates the production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in parathyroid glands. The activity of this receptor is mediated by a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The G-protein-coupled receptor activity is activated by a co-agonist mechanism: aromatic amino acids, such as Trp or Phe, act concertedly with divalent cations, such as calcium or magnesium, to achieve full receptor activation. |
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |
| Protein Family |
G-protein coupled receptor 3 family |
| Associated Diseases |
Hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, familial 1 (HHC1); Hyperparathyroidism, neonatal severe (NSHPT); Hypocalcemia, autosomal dominant 1 (HYPOC1); Epilepsy, idiopathic generalized 8 (EIG8) |
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in the temporal lobe, frontal lobe, parietal lobe, hippocampus, and cerebellum. Also found in kidney, lung, liver, heart, skeletal muscle, placenta. |
