Abstract

Calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) expression and function were studied in proliferating and differentiating cultured human gingival keratinocytes (HGKs). CaSR mRNA and protein were present in proliferating HGKs cultured in 0.03 mM [Ca(2+)] and decreased in cells induced to differentiate by culturing i...
