Normal autopsy-derived parathyroid tissues showed strong but predominantly incomplete membranous expression. Surface CaSR expression decreased in PHPT and is probably an early event in parathyroid adenoma, seen even in normal rims. Whether there is a defect in CaSR trafficking from the cytoplasm to the cell surface in adenoma and carcinoma needs further evaluation.
