Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5: a target for migraine therapy [PDF]
AbstractIntroductionMany patients suffering from migraine gain little relief from existing treatments partly because many existing acute and preventive therapies used in migraine have been adopted from other neurologic conditions such as depression or epilepsy.

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.

Association of genetic variants of Glutamate Metabotropic Receptor 5 gene and state-anhedonia
Introduction Andedonia is one of the core symptoms of depression. It is known that in case of depressed individuals experiencing anhedonia, the classical antidepressants are often ineffective, thus investigation of this symptom would be essential ...

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

MicroRNA binding site variation is enriched in psychiatric disorders
Abstract Psychiatric disorders have a polygenic architecture, often associated with dozens or hundreds of independent genomic loci. Most associated loci impact noncoding regions of the genome, suggesting that the majority of disease heritability originates from the disruption of regulatory sequences.

Accuracy in readout of glutamate concentrations by neuronal cells [PDF]
Glutamate and glycine are important neurotransmitters in the brain. An action potential prop- agating in the terminal of a presynatic neuron causes the release of glutamate and glycine in the synapse by vesicles fusing with the cell membrane, which then activate various receptors on the cell membrane of the post synaptic neuron.

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.
