Metabotropic glutamate receptor-1 contributes to progression in triple negative breast cancer. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014TNBC is an aggressive breast cancer subtype that does not express hormone receptors (estrogen and progesterone receptors, ER and PR) or amplified human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2), and there currently exist no targeted therapies ...

Metabotropic glutamate receptor-1 as a novel target for the antiangiogenic treatment of breast cancer. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are normally expressed in the central nervous system, where they mediate neuronal excitability and neurotransmitter release.

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (Grm1) is an oncogene in epithelial cells. [PDF]
Oncogene, 2013Non-neuronal expression of components of the glutamatergic system has been increasingly observed, and our laboratory previously had demonstrated the etiological role of ectopically expressed metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (Grm1/mGluR1) in mouse models of melanoma.

Concurrent Targeting of Glutaminolysis and Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 1 (GRM1) Reduces Glutamate Bioavailability in GRM1+ Melanoma. [PDF]
Cancer Res, 2019Aberrant glutamatergic signaling has been implicated in altered metabolic activity in many cancer types, including malignant melanoma. Previously, we have illustrated the role of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (GRM1) in neoplastic transformation of ...

AgRP/NPY Neuron Excitability Is Modulated by Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 1 During Fasting [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018The potential to control feeding behavior via hypothalamic AgRP/NPY neurons has led to many approaches to modulate their excitability—particularly by glutamatergic input.

Structure of a class C GPCR metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 bound to an allosteric modulator. [PDF]
Science, 2014Completing the Set G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) are membrane proteins that transduce extracellular signals to activate diverse signaling pathways. Significant insight into GPCR function has come from structures of three of four classes of GPCRs—A,
