A polymorphism in the glutamate metabotropic receptor 7 is associated with cognitive deficits in the early phases of psychosis [PDF]
Schizophrenia is an illness characterized by positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and cognitive impairments. Cognitive impairments occur before the onset of psychosis and could reflect glutamatergic dysregulation. Thus, identifying associations between genetic variations in genes coding for glutamatergic receptors and cognitive impairment in ...

Interaction of the C-terminal tail region of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 with the protein kinase C substrate PICK1. [PDF]
Group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are highly enriched in the presynaptic terminals of glutamatergic synapses where they mediate feedback inhibition of neurotransmitter release.

Identification of positive allosteric modulators VU0155094 (ML397) and VU0422288 (ML396) reveals new insights into the biology of metabotropic glutamate receptor 7. [PDF]
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGlu7) is a member of the group III mGlu receptors (mGlus), encompassed by mGlu4, mGlu6, mGlu7, and mGlu8. mGlu7 is highly expressed in the presynaptic active zones of both excitatory and inhibitory synapses, and ...

The Inhibition of Glutamate Release by Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 7 Affects Both [Ca2+] c and cAMP [PDF]
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) from group III reduce glutamate release. Because these receptors reduce cAMP levels, we explored whether this signaling pathway contributes to release inhibition caused by mGluRs with low affinity forl-2-amino-4 ...

The role of metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGluR7) in drug dependence [PDF]
The successful pharmacotherapy for drug addiction is a challenge for pharmacology in XXI century. We still do not have any registered medication for cocaine by FDA, alcohol therapies are not enough successful. High hopes concern metabotropic glutamate 7 receptor as a target for pharmacotherapy development of drug dependence.

Metabotropic glutamate 7 (mGlu7) receptor: A target for medication development for the treatment of cocaine dependence [PDF]
Brain glutamate has been shown to play an important role in reinstatement to drug seeking, a behavior considered to be of relevance to relapse to drug taking in humans. Therefore, glutamate receptors, in particular metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors, have become important targets for medication development for the treatment of drug dependence.

A selective metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 agonist: activation of receptor signaling via an allosteric site modulates stress parameters in vivo. [PDF]
Metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) subtypes (mGluR1 to mGluR8) act as important pre- and postsynaptic regulators of neurotransmission in the CNS. These receptors consist of two domains, an extracellular region containing the orthosteric agonist site

Glutamate receptor metabotropic 7 is cis-regulated in the mouse brain and modulates alcohol drinking
Alcoholism is a heritable disease that afflicts about 8% of the adult population. Its development and symptoms, such as craving, loss of control, physical dependence, and tolerance, have been linked to changes in mesolimbic, mesocortical neurotransmitter systems utilizing biogenic amines, GABA, and glutamate.

Effects of lead exposure on hippocampal metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 3 and 7 in developmental rats [PDF]
A complete explanation of the mechanisms by which Pb2+ exerts toxic effects on developmental central nervous system remains unknown. Glutamate is critical to the developing brain through various subtypes of ionotropic or metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs).
