Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2015 Background: C. elegans encodes three metabotropic glutamate receptors: mgl-1, mgl-2, and mgl-3. Results: mgl-1 and mgl-3, but not mgl-2, modulate activity in the neural circuit underlying feeding behavior.

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors Inhibit Microglial Glutamate Release
ASN Neuro, 2012 Pro-inflammatory stimuli evoke an export of glutamate from microglia that is sufficient to contribute to excitotoxicity in neighbouring neurons. Since microglia also express various glutamate receptors themselves, we were interested in the potential ...
