Mechanisms associated with activation of intracellular metabotropic glutamate receptor, mGluR5 [PDF]
, 2016 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.

Albuminuria and Glomerular Damage in Mice Lacking the Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 1 [PDF]
The American Journal of Pathology, 2011 The metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptor 1 (GRM1) has been shown to play an important role in neuronal cells by triggering, through calcium release from intracellular stores, various signaling pathways that finally modulate neuron excitability, synaptic plasticity, and mechanisms of feedback regulation of neurotransmitter release.

A Critical Role for Sorting Nexin 1 in the Trafficking of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2018 Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) function as modulators of neuronal physiology and they have also been implicated in various neuropsychiatric disorders. Trafficking of mGluRs plays important roles in controlling the precise localization of these receptors at specific region of the cell, as well as it regulates the activity of these ...

mGluR5 antagonism inhibits cocaine reinforcement and relapse by elevation of extracellular glutamate in the nucleus accumbens via a CB1 receptor mechanism. [PDF]
, 2018 Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) antagonism inhibits cocaine self-administration and reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this action are poorly understood.

The Role of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 1 Dependent Signaling in Glioma Viability [PDF]
The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2018 Glioma refers to malignant central nervous system tumors that have histologic characteristics in common with glial cells. The most prevalent type, glioblastoma multiforme, is associated with a poor prognosis and few treatment options. On the basis of reports of aberrant expression of mGluR1 mRNA in glioma, evidence that melanoma growth is directly ...

Analgesia induced by the epigenetic drug, L-acetylcarnitine, outlasts the end of treatment in mouse models of chronic inflammatory and neuropathic pain [PDF]
, 2017 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 receptor subtype-1 is essential for in vivo growth of melanoma [PDF]
Oncogene, 2008 Ectopic expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 1 (mGluR1) in mouse melanocytes induces melanoma formation. Although requirement of mGluR1 for development of melanoma in the initial stage has been demonstrated, its role in melanoma growth in vivo remains unclear. In this study, we developed novel transgenic mice that conditionally express
