Blood calcium is maintained by four organs regulated by the CaSR and PTH
Activating variants in the CASR
increase tissue sensitivity to Ca2+
Hypersensitive CaSR causes dysregulation of Ca homeostasis

Conventional therapy with calcium and activated vitamin D does not correct the underlying pathophysiology and has the potential to worsen long-term complications
Chronic Kidney Disease
PTH Secretion
Encaleret is an investigational negative allosteric modulator of the CaSR that can decrease CaSR sensitivity to extracellular calcium
Normalizing CaSR sensitivity could correct hypocalcemia, hypercalciuria, and low PTH in individuals with ADH1
