Aminoglycoside antibiotics induce pH-sensitive activation of the calcium-sensing receptor
The aminoglycoside antibiotic (AGA) neomycin is a known agonist of the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR). To test whether other AGA drugs stimulate the CaR, we studied the relative effects of four AGAs on intracellular Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca 2+] i) using CaR-transfected human embryonic...
