Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Type 1 Autoantibody–Associated Cerebellitis [PDF]
To report the third case of subacute cerebellar ataxia associated with metabotropic glutamate receptor type 1 autoantibodies (mGluR1-Abs), an uncommon syndrome known to be part of the group of paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration syndromes linked to antineuronal antibodies and previously reported in only 2 other patients with long-term remission of ...

Analgesia induced by the epigenetic drug, L-acetylcarnitine, outlasts the end of treatment in mouse models of chronic inflammatory and neuropathic pain [PDF]
Background: L-acetylcarnitine, a drug marketed for the treatment of chronic pain, causes analgesia by epigenetically up-regulating type-2 metabotropic glutamate (mGlu2) receptors in the spinal cord.

Metabotropic glutamate 2/3 receptors and epigenetic modifications in psychotic disorders: a review [PDF]
Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder are chronic psychiatric disorders, both considered as "major psychosis"; they are thought to share some pathogenetic factors involving a dysfunctional gene x environment interaction.

Targeting mGlu5 metabotropic glutamate receptors in the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in a mouse model of phenylketonuria [PDF]
We studied group-I metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors in Pah(enu2) (ENU2) mice, which mimic the genetics and neurobiology of human phenylketonuria (PKU), a metabolic disorder characterized, if untreated, by autism, and intellectual disability (ID ...

Negative Cooperativity of Glutamate Binding in the Dimeric Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Subtype 1 [PDF]
Metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) subtype 1 is a Class III G-protein-coupled receptor that is mainly expressed on the post-synaptic membrane of neuronal cells. The receptor has a large N-terminal extracellular ligand binding domain that forms a homodimer, however, the intersubunit communication of ligand binding in the dimer remains unknown. Here,

Bidirectional regulation of synaptic SUMOylation by Group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors
AbstractSUMOylation is a post-translational modification essential to cell homeostasis. A tightly controlled equilibrium between SUMOylation and deSUMOylation processes is also critical to the neuronal function including neurotransmitter release and synaptic transmission and plasticity. Disruption of the SUMOylation homeostasis in neurons is associated

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 2/3 (mGluR2/3) activation suppresses TRPV1 sensitization in mouse, but not human sensory neurons [PDF]
The use of human tissue to validate putative analgesic targets identified in rodents is a promising strategy for improving the historically poor translational record of preclinical pain research.

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (Grm1) is an oncogene in epithelial cells [PDF]
Non-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.

Mechanisms associated with activation of intracellular metabotropic glutamate receptor, mGluR5 [PDF]
The group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptor, mGluR5, is found on the cell surface as well as on intracellular membranes where it can mediate both overlapping and unique signaling effects.

The prion protein regulates glutamate-mediated Ca2+ entry and mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation in neurons [PDF]
The cellular prion protein (PrPC) whose conformational misfolding leads to the production of deadly prions, has a still-unclarified cellular function despite decades of intensive research.
