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.

Metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 2 is a cellular receptor for rabies virus. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Rabies virus (RABV) invades the central nervous system and nearly always causes fatal disease in humans. How RABV interacts with host neuron membrane receptors to become internalized and cause rabid symptoms is not yet fully understood.

Orthogonal Activation of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Using Coordination Chemogenetics [PDF]
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022 Cell-surface receptors play a pivotal role as transducers of extracellular input. Although different cell types express the same receptor, the physiological roles of the receptor are highly dependent on cell type.

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 ...

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.

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and Epileptogenesis [PDF]
Epilepsy Currents, 2002 Activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) often produces long-lasting effects on the excitability of cortical neurons. For example, mGluR stimulation induces long-term potentiation or depression of excitatory synaptic transmission in the hippocampus.

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.

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 ...
