Anti-metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 coexistent anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis: a case report and literature review [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) antibody encephalitis is an infrequent clinical disorder, initially reported in 2011 among two patients presenting with limbic encephalitis and Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Allosteric modulators enhance agonist efficacy by increasing the residence time of a GPCR in the active state

Nature Communications, 2021
Here, the authors use smFRET to assess the structural dynamics of metabotropic glutamate receptor mGlu2 and show that a positive allosteric modulator or the Gi protein stabilize mGlu2 in the glutamate-induced active state, leading to the full activation ...

Loss-of-Function Models of the Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Genes Grm8a and Grm8b Display Distinct Behavioral Phenotypes in Zebrafish Larvae (Danio rerio)

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Members of the family of metabotropic glutamate receptors are involved in the pathomechanism of several disorders of the nervous system. Besides the well-investigated function of dysfunctional glutamate receptor signaling in neurodegenerative diseases ...

Metabotropic glutamate receptors in cancer [PDF]

Neuropharmacology, 2017
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are widely known for their roles in synaptic signaling. However, accumulating evidence suggests roles of mGluRs in human malignancies in addition to synaptic transmission. Somatic cell homeostasis presents intriguing possibilities of mGluRs and glutamate signaling as novel targets for human cancers.

Accuracy in readout of glutamate concentrations by neuronal cells [PDF]

The European Physical Journal E, 46(4), 30 (2023), 2023
Glutamate and glycine are important neurotransmitters in the brain. An action potential prop- agating in the terminal of a presynatic neuron causes the release of glutamate and glycine in the synapse by vesicles fusing with the cell membrane, which then activate various receptors on the cell membrane of the post synaptic neuron.

Metabotropic glutamate receptor trafficking [PDF]

Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu receptors) are G protein-coupled receptors that bind to the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate and are important in the modulation of neuronal excitability, synaptic transmission, and plasticity in the central nervous system.

Brain gamma rhythm and potential treatment of neurodegenerative disease

Journal of Neurorestoratology, 2020
In this mini-review, we illustrate the brain network oscillations in different brain areas, including the medial septal diagonal band complex (MSDB) and hippocampus, especially at gamma frequency bands (γ, 30–80 Hz) and theta frequency bands (θ, 4–12 Hz),

Glutamatergic Mechanisms in Glioblastoma and Tumor-Associated Epilepsy

Cells, 2021
The progression of glioblastomas is associated with a variety of neurological impairments, such as tumor-related epileptic seizures. Seizures are not only a common comorbidity of glioblastoma but often an initial clinical symptom of this cancer entity ...

L-Glutamate supplementation improves small intestinal architecture and enhances the expressions of jejunal mucosa amino acid receptors and transporters in weaning piglets. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
L-Glutamate is a major oxidative fuel for the small intestine. However, few studies have demonstrated the effect of L-glutamate on the intestinal architecture and signaling of amino acids in the small intestine.
