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

The Modulation of Pain by Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors 7 and 8 in the Dorsal Striatum [PDF]
The dorsal striatum, apart from controlling voluntary movement, displays a recently demonstrated pain inhibition. It is connected to the descending pain modulatory system and in particular to the rostral ventromedial medulla through the medullary dorsal reticular nucleus.

Interaction between metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 and alpha tubulin [PDF]
AbstractMetabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) mediate a variety of responses to glutamate in the central nervous system. A primary role for group‐III mGluRs is to inhibit neurotransmitter release from presynaptic terminals, but the molecular mechanisms that regulate presynaptic trafficking and activity of group‐III mGluRs are not well understood ...

Pleiotropic Effects of Grm7/GRM7 in Shaping Neurodevelopmental Pathways and the Neural Substrate of Complex Behaviors and Disorders [PDF]
Natural gene variants of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 7 (Grm7), coding for mGluR7, affect individuals’ alcohol-drinking preference. Psychopharmacological investigations have suggested that mGluR7 is also involved in responses to cocaine ...

The C Terminus of the Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Subtypes 2 and 7 Specifies the Receptor Signaling Pathways [PDF]
There is accumulating evidence that the specificity of the transduction cascades activated by G protein-coupled receptors cannot solely depend on the nature of the coupled G protein. To identify additional structural determinants, we studied two metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors, the mGlu2 and mGlu7 receptors, that are both coupled to G(o ...

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 ...
