Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) regulates white adipocyte browning [PDF]
Objective To investigate whether mGluR5 could regulate white adipocytes browning. Methods Western blot was used to test the expression of mGluR5 in white and brown adipose tissue. Lipid droplets morphology was microscoped after BODIPY staining.

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 Is a Disulfide-linked Dimer [PDF]
The sequences of the metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) show little homology with other members of the G protein-coupled receptor family and exhibit several distinctive features, including a large N-terminal extracellular domain with 17 cysteines in conserved positions.

Antibodies to metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 in the Ophelia syndrome [PDF]
To report the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) as the autoantigen of antibodies from 2 patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and limbic encephalopathy (Ophelia syndrome).Immunohistochemistry with brain tissue and cultures of rat hippocampal neurons were used to demonstrate antibodies. Immunoprecipitation, mass spectrometry, and mGluR5-null mice

Uncoupling of the endocannabinoid signalling complex in a mouse model of fragile X syndrome [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome, the most commonly known genetic cause of autism, is due to loss of the fragile X mental retardation protein, which regulates signal transduction at metabotropic glutamate receptor-5 in the brain.

Glutamate Delta-1 Receptor Regulates Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 Signaling in the Hippocampus [PDF]
The delta family of ionotropic glutamate receptors consists of glutamate delta-1 (GluD1) and glutamate delta-2 receptors. We have previously shown that GluD1 knockout mice exhibit features of developmental delay, including impaired spine pruning and switch in the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit, which are relevant to autism and other ...
