title: Calcium transport in the kidney.
abstract: Recent discoveries of calcium-regulating and calcium-transporting proteins have paved the way for a heightened understanding of the mechanisms and control of renal calcium transport. In this review, new findings regarding the multifunctional megalin receptor, chloride channels, a putative calcium entry channel, and the calcium-sensing receptor are discussed.
