Calcium‐sensing receptor (CaSR) as a novel target for ischemic neuroprotection

Abstract

Ischemic brain injury is the leading cause for death and long‐term disability in patients who suffer cardiac arrest and embolic stroke. Excitotoxicity and subsequent Ca2+‐overload lead to ischemic neuron death. We explore a novel mechanism concerning the role of the excitatory extracellular calcium‐sensing receptor (CaSR) in the induction of ischemic brain injury.
