Novel expression patterns of metabotropic glutamate receptor 6 in the zebrafish nervous system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The metabotropic glutamate receptor 6 (mGluR6 or GRM6) belongs to the class III of the metabotropic glutamate receptor family. It is the only known mGluR that mediates direct synaptic transmission in the nervous system and is thought to mediate the ON ...

The Cold Case of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 6: Unjust Detention in the Retina? [PDF]
Curr Neuropharmacol, 2020 It is a common opinion that metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 6 (mGluR6) is expressed exclusively in the retina, and in particular in the dendrites of ON-bipolar cells. Glutamate released in darkness from photoreceptors activates mGluR6, which is negatively associated with a membrane non-selective cation channel, the transient receptor potential ...

Involvement of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5, AKT/PI3K Signaling and NF-κB pathway in methamphetamine-mediated increase in IL-6 and IL-8 expression in astrocytes [PDF]
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2012 Methamphetamine (MA) is one of the commonly used illicit drugs and the central nervous system toxicity of MA is well documented. The mechanisms contributing to this toxicity have not been fully elucidated.

Expression and functional characterization of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Type 6 (mGluR6) in detergent micelles [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2009 Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are G protein coupled receptors which are implicated in different brain functions and dysfunctions including learning, memory, pain perception, neurodegeneration, schizophrenia and addiction. Metabotropic glutamate receptor type 6 (mGluR6) is a subtype of mGluRs which is exclusively expressed in ON-bipolar ...

Astrocyte activation in the anterior cingulate cortex and altered glutamatergic gene expression during paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain in mice [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Spinal astrocyte activation contributes to the pathogenesis of paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain (PINP) in animal models. We examined glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP; an astrocyte marker) immunoreactivity and gene expression of GFAP, glutamate ...

Orofacial antinociceptive activity and anchorage molecular mechanism in silico of geraniol [PDF]
Brazilian Oral Research, 2020 We aimed to evaluate the orofacial antinociceptive effect of geraniol in mice and its molecular anchorage mechanism. Seven mice per group (probabilistic sample) were treated with geraniol (12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg, i.p.), morphine (6 mg/kg, i.p.) and ...
