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.

The Structures of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors [PDF]

, 2008
Interest in the structures of the metabotropic glutamate receptors continues to increase for a variety of reasons, including the fact that they are now established drug targets and are linked to a wide spectrum of physiologic processes both within and outside the central nervous system.

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and Neuronal Toxicity

1992
Specific glutamate receptors coupled to polyphosphoinositide (PPI) hydrolysis have been described in brain slices, cultured neurons, and astrocytes, and in amphibian oocytes injected with rat brain mRNA (Sladeczek et al., 1985; Nicoletti et al., 1986a,b; Sugiyama et al., 1987).

The metabotropic glutamate receptors of the vestibular organs

Hearing Research, 1998
This research sought to test the presence and function of metabotropic excitatory amino acid receptors (mGluR) in the frog semicircular canal (SCC). The mGluR agonist +/- 1-aminocyclopentane-trans-1,3-dicarboxylate (ACPD) produced an increase in afferent firing rates of the ampullar nerve of the intact posterior canal.

Effects of bromohomoibotenate on metabotropic glutamate receptors

NeuroReport, 1994
(S)-Bromohomoibotenic acid [(S)-BrHIbo] stereoselectively antagonized glutamate-stimulated phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis in baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells expressing mGluR1a in a competitive manner with an IC50 of 250 microM. However, (S)-BrHIbo did not inhibit (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid [(1S,3R)-ACPD]-induced PI hydrolysis ...

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors: Gatekeepers of Homeostasis

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 2010
The capacity to appropriately respond to physiological challenges or perturbations in homeostasis is a requisite for survival. It is becoming increasingly clear that long‐lasting alterations in synaptic efficacy are a fundamental mechanism for modifying neuroendocrine and autonomic output. We review recent advances in our understanding of plasticity at

The metabotropic glutamate receptors: Structure and functions

Neuropharmacology, 1995
Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. For many years it has been considered to act only on ligand-gated receptor channels--termed NMDA, AMPA and kainate receptors--involved in the fast excitatory synaptic transmission. Recently, glutamate has been shown to regulate ion channels and enzymes producing second messengers via ...

PHARMACOLOGY AND FUNCTIONS OF METABOTROPIC GLUTAMATE RECEPTORS

Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 1997
▪ Abstract  In the mid to late 1980s, studies were published that provided the first evidence for the existence of glutamate receptors that are not ligand-gated cation channels but are coupled to effector systems through GTP-binding proteins. Since those initial reports, tremendous progress has been made in characterizing these metabotropic glutamate ...
