The calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is a G-protein-coupled receptor that displays 19–25%
sequence identity to the γ-aminobutyric acid type B (GABA B) and metabotropic glutamate
(mGlu) receptors. All three groups of receptors have a large amino-terminal domain (ATD),
which for the mGlu receptors has been shown to bind the endogenous agonist. To
investigate whether the agonist-binding domain of the CaR also is located in the ATD, we
constructed a chimeric receptor named Ca/1a consisting of the ATD of CaR and the seven …
