Calcitonin receptor (CALCR) is a glycosylated 70kD seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor that mediates the hypocalcemic effects of the peptide hormone, calcitonin. CALCR activation inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and enhances renal calcium excretion. CALCR polymorphisms and mutations have been associated with several bone disorders. Alternate splicing results in the deletion of 16aa in the first cytoplasmic loop or 23aa in the first extracellular region. Human CALCR shares aa70-72 sequence identity with mouse and rat CACLR.
