In previous studies, we characterized an extracellular Ca 2+ (Ca(o)/ 2+)-sensing receptor (CaR) that plays a central role in regulating parathyroid hormone secretion in mammals by sensing Ca(o)/ 2+. In the present study, we have cloned and characterized the chicken (Gallus domesticus) homolog of the CaR. The chicken parathyroid CaR shares a high degree of homology (84% amino acid identity) with the human CaR and displays a similar topology. Moreover, amino acid residues where mutations cause disorders of Ca(o)/ 2+-sensing in the human CaR share the wild-type human sequence in the chicken CaR. However, a single region in the extracellular domain of the chicken CaR differs substantially from its mammalian homologs. Xenopus laevis oocytes injected with chicken CaR cRNA respond to elevated ambient levels of Ca(o)/ 2+, extracellular Mg 2+, or extracellular Gd 3+ with the characteristic activation of inositol triphosphate-dependent, intracellular Ca 2+-induced Cl - currents elicited by mammalian CaRs as well as by G protein-linked receptors coupled to activation of phospholipase C. By in situ hybridization, clusters of cells in chicken parathyroid glands were shown to express CaR messenger RNA. Northern analysis and immunohistochemistry demonstrated expression of receptor transcripts and/or protein in kidney tubules and intestine as well as in brain. The close conservation of the amino acid sequence of the chicken CaR with its mammalian homologs as well as its similar tissue distribution suggest that the receptor may also play an important role in avian calcium homeostasis.
