Calcium‐sensing receptor (CaSR), a family C G‐protein‐coupled receptor, plays a crucial role in regulating calcium homeostasis by sensing small concentration changes of extracellular Ca2+, Mg2+, amino acids (e.g., L‐Trp and L‐Phe), small peptides, anions (e.g., HCO3− and PO43−), and pH. CaSR‐mediated intracellular Ca2+ signaling regulates a diverse set of cellular processes including gene transcription, cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, muscle contraction, and neuronal transmission. Dysfunction of CaSR with mutations results in diseases such as autosomal dominant hypocalcemia, familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, and neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism. CaSR also influences calciotropic disorders, such as osteoporosis, and noncalciotropic disorders, such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. This study first reviews recent advances in biochemical …
