Calcium ion is the first identified endogenous substance to function as both a first and second messenger via the stimulation of an extracellular calcium sensing receptor (CaR). CaR is a seven transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor, which activates intracellular effectors, for example, it causes inositol phosphate (IP) accumulation to increase the release of intracellular calcium. Furthermore, more and more evidence shows that CaR is related to mediating the cellular functions in various cells.
