Metabotropic Glutamate 1 Receptor: Current Concepts and Perspectives

Pharmacological Reviews, 2008
Almost 25 years after the first report that glutamate can activate receptors coupled to heterotrimeric G-proteins, tremendous progress has been made in the field of metabotropic glutamate receptors. Now, eight members of this family of glutamate receptors, encoded by eight different genes that share distinctive structural features have been identified.

Relationship between type 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors and cerebellar ataxia

Journal of Neurology, 2016
Imaging of type 1 metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR1) has recently become possible using positron emission tomography (PET). We aimed to examine the relationship between mGluR1 and cerebellar ataxia. Families with spinocerebellar ataxia type 19/22 (SCA19/22) and SCA6, six patients with sporadic SCA, and 26 healthy subjects underwent PET using an ...

CPCCOEt, a Noncompetitive Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 1 Antagonist, Inhibits Receptor Signaling Without Affecting Glutamate Binding

Molecular Pharmacology, 1999
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are a family of G protein-coupled receptors characterized by a large, extracellular N-terminal domain comprising the glutamate-binding site. In the current study, we examined the pharmacological profile and site of action of the non-amino-acid antagonist 7-hydroxyiminocyclopropan[b]chromen-1a-carboxylic acid ...

Activation of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 1 Dimers Requires Glutamate Binding in Both Subunits

The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2005
Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) form stable, disulfide-linked homodimers. Lack of a verifiably monomeric mGluR1 mutant has led to difficulty in assessing the role of dimerization in the molecular mechanism of mGluR1 activation.

Heterologous expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2004
The upstream region of the isocitrate lyase gene (UPR-ICL) from the n-alkane-utilizing yeast Candida tropicalis serves as a useful promoter of gene expression in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The production of rat metabotropic glutamate receptor 1alpha (mGluR1alpha), which belongs to the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family, was tested under ...

Competitive Antagonism by Phenylglycine Derivatives at Type 1 Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors

Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 1994
Abstract The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) form a family of G-protein-coupled receptors which consists of at least seven members termed mGluR1-mGluR7. These members are classified into subfamilies according to their sequence similarities, signal transduction mechanisms and agonist selectivities.
