  • Title: Emerging roles of the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor in nutrient sensing: control of taste modulation and intestinal hormone secretion.
    Author: Brennan SC, Davies TS, Schepelmann M, Riccardi D.
    Journal: Br J Nutr; 2014 Jun; 111 Suppl 1():S16-22. PubMed ID: 24382107.
    Abstract:
    The extracellular Ca-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a sensor for a number of key nutrients within the body, including Ca ions (Ca²⁺) and L-amino acids. The CaSR is expressed in a number of specialised cells within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and much work has been done to examine CaSR's role as a nutrient sensor in this system. This review article examines two emerging roles for the CaSR within the GI tract--as a mediator of kokumi taste modulation in taste cells and as a regulator of dietary hormone release in response to L-amino acids in the intestine.
