Metabotropic glutamate receptors

Cell and Tissue Research, 2006
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlus) are a family of G-protein-coupled receptors activated by the neurotransmitter glutamate. Molecular cloning has revealed eight different subtypes (mGlu1-8) with distinct molecular and pharmacological properties. Multiplicity in this receptor family is further generated through alternative splicing. mGlus activate

Metabotropic glutamate receptors

Amino Acids, 2007
l-Glutamate, one of the main neurotransmitters in the central nervous system (CNS), acts on two groups of receptors: (a) a group of ionotropic receptors that includes N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA), α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA), and kainate receptors, and (2) a group of metabotropic receptors (mGluRs).

Structure of the metabotropic glutamate receptor

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2003
In the twelve years since the molecular elucidation of the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 1, a class III family of G-protein-coupled receptors has emerged; members of this family include the calcium-sensing receptor, the GABA(B) receptor, some odorant receptors and some taste receptors.

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and Neurodegeneration

2004
Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors, which exert a modulatory effect on excitatory synaptic transmission, are considered as potential targets for neuroprotective drugs and the advent of potent and centrally available subtype-selective ligands has lead to an extensive investigation of the role of individual mGlu receptor subtypes in ...

Metabotropic glutamate receptors and epilepsy

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2006
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) play an important role in the initiation of ictal discharges by participating in the interictal-ictal transition, and may play a crucial role in recruiting normal brain tissue into synchronized discharges, thereby facilitating propagation of seizure activity.

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors in Glial Cells

Neurochemical Research, 2008
Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) and exerts its actions via a number of ionotropic glutamate receptors/channels and metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors. In addition to being expressed in neurons, glutamate receptors are expressed in different types of glial cells including astrocytes ...

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors as Drug Targets

Current Drug Targets, 2007
L-glutamate (Glu), the main excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system, is involved in many physiological functions, including learning and memory, but also in toxic phenomena occurring in numerous degenerative or neurological diseases.

Metabotropic receptors for glutamate and GABA in pain

Brain Research Reviews, 2009
Glutamate and gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) are respectively two major excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters of the adult mammalian central nervous system. These neurotransmitters exert their action through two types of receptors: ionotropic and metabotropic receptors.

Immunohistochemical visualization of a metabotropic glutamate receptor

NeuroReport, 1993
The immunocytochemical localization of the recently cloned metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 alpha (mGluR1 alpha) was demonstrated with a C-terminus specific antibody in rat cerebellar cortex. This antibody detects a 138-140 kDa major, and a 46 kDa minor band in membrane preparations of rat cortex and cerebellum.
