Cholesterol Localization around the Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 2

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2020
The metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) 2 plays a key role in the central nervous system. mGluR2 has been shown to be regulated by its surrounding lipid environment, especially by cholesterol, by an unknown mechanism. Here, using a combination of biochemical approaches, photo-cross-linking experiments, and molecular dynamics simulations we show the

Pharmacology of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 2 Homo‐ and Heterodimers

The FASEB Journal, 2020
Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors (mGluRs) are a family of class C g‐protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) that respond to glutamate as their native agonist. The eight members of the mGluR family are widely expressed across the nervous and are primarily charged with shaping and fine‐tuning neuronal excitability and ...

Specificity of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 2 Coupling to G Proteins

Molecular Pharmacology, 2003
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (mGluR2) is a class 3 G protein-coupled receptor and an important mediator of synaptic activity in the central nervous system. Previous work demonstrated that mGluR2 couples to pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive G proteins. However, the specificity of mGluR2 coupling to individual members of the G(i/o) family is not known.

Chemical Switch of a Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 2 Silent Allosteric Modulator into Dual Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 2/3 Negative/Positive Allosteric Modulators

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2010
Using an mGluR2 FRET-based binding assay, binders of the transmembrane region devoid of functional activity were identified. It is reported that slight chemical modifications of these SAMs can dramatically change activity of the resulting analogues without altering their affinities.
