Abstract: The calcium‐sensing receptor (CaR) is a G protein‐coupled receptor. CaR stimulation elicits phospholipase C‐mediated inositol triphosphate formation, leading to an elevation in the level of intracellular calcium released from endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Depletion ER Ca 2+ leads stress, which thought induce apoptosis. Intracellular overload‐induced apoptosis cardiac myocytes during hypoxia–reoxygenation (H/Re) has been demonstrated. However, links between CaR, stress and H/Re are...
