Association of glutamate metabotropic receptor polymorphisms and sensorineural hearing loss in adults of different age groups [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2019
Introduction: Sensorineural hearing loss is a common challenge all over the world, including a section of the young population. While there have been many published reports associating glutamate metabotropic receptor 7 with sensorineural hearing loss ...

CryoEM structure of mGlu6 captures receptor activation prior to G protein coupling [PDF]

Nature Communications
The metabotropic glutamate receptor 6 (mGlu6) is essential for synaptic communication of rod photoreceptors, and mutations in mGlu6 lead to a blinding disorder. However, its structural organization remains unknown.

Treatment of Cerebral Ischemia Through NMDA Receptors: Metabotropic Signaling and Future Directions

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Excessive activation of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors after cerebral ischemia is a key cause of ischemic injury. For a long time, it was generally accepted that calcium influx is a necessary condition for ischemic injury mediated by NMDA ...

Predominantly linear summation of metabotropic postsynaptic potentials follows coactivation of neurogliaform interneurons

eLife, 2021
Summation of ionotropic receptor-mediated responses is critical in neuronal computation by shaping input-output characteristics of neurons. However, arithmetics of summation for metabotropic signals are not known. We characterized the combined ionotropic

Brain gamma rhythm and potential treatment of neurodegenerative disease

Journal of Neurorestoratology, 2020
In this mini-review, we illustrate the brain network oscillations in different brain areas, including the medial septal diagonal band complex (MSDB) and hippocampus, especially at gamma frequency bands (γ, 30–80 Hz) and theta frequency bands (θ, 4–12 Hz),

Ionotropic and metabotropic responses by alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

Pharmacological Research, 2023
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) belong to a superfamily of cys-loop receptors characterized by the assembly of five subunits into a multi-protein channel complex.

Allosteric modulators enhance agonist efficacy by increasing the residence time of a GPCR in the active state

Nature Communications, 2021
Here, the authors use smFRET to assess the structural dynamics of metabotropic glutamate receptor mGlu2 and show that a positive allosteric modulator or the Gi protein stabilize mGlu2 in the glutamate-induced active state, leading to the full activation ...

Metabotropic glutamate receptor trafficking [PDF]

Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu receptors) are G protein-coupled receptors that bind to the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate and are important in the modulation of neuronal excitability, synaptic transmission, and plasticity in the central nervous system.

Metabotropic glutamate receptors in cancer [PDF]

Neuropharmacology, 2017
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are widely known for their roles in synaptic signaling. However, accumulating evidence suggests roles of mGluRs in human malignancies in addition to synaptic transmission. Somatic cell homeostasis presents intriguing possibilities of mGluRs and glutamate signaling as novel targets for human cancers.
