The Role of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 in Learning and Memory Processes

Drug News & Perspectives, 2005
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5), a subtype in the group I mGluRs, couples to phospholipase C through Gq protein. Stimulation of mGluR5 leads to the release of calcium from intracellular stores and protein kinase C activation. In addition, links to different ion channels and other signaling mechanisms have also been revealed.

Coincident modulation of adenosine receptor and metabotropic glutamate receptor 5

2021
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease are among the leading causes of death and disease burden. Therefore, new therapeutic targets are needed to treat both symptoms and disease progression. Glutamate and adenosine receptors are key proteins modulating brain cells’ activity.

The role of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 in developmental lead neurotoxicity

Toxicology Letters, 2009
A complete explanation of the mechanisms of lead-induced developmental neurotoxicity remains unknown. The glutamate receptor is one of the most important targets of lead. More recently, metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) has been shown to have a functional relationship with learning and memory.

Discovery of novel modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype-5

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2004
A series of potent and selective mGluR5 antagonists were synthesized and evaluated in vitro and in vivo. It was found that a pyridyl functionality is a potential replacement for acetonitrile in the lead structure, with 2-pyridyl being most favored.

AstroWars: the return of the astrocytic metabotropic glutamate receptor 5

The Journal of Physiology
AbstractIn the brain, astrocytes express glutamate receptors to detect glutamatergic signalling at synapses. Numerous studies have been conducted to characterize the types and levels of receptor expression, their physiological properties and functional roles. The metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is particularly noteworthy.

Acute effects of acamprosate and MPEP on ethanol Drinking-in-the-Dark in male C57BL/6J mice.

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2008
BACKGROUND Recently, a simple procedure in mice, Drinking-in-the-Dark (DID), was hypothesized to have value for medication development for human alcoholism. In DID, mice are offered intermittent, limited access to ethanol over a series of days during the

Mechanisms Underlying Allosteric Molecular Switches of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5

Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling, 2019
The metabotropic glutamate 5 (mGlu5) receptor is a class C G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is implicated in several CNS disorders making it a popular drug discovery target. Years of research have revealed allosteric mGlu5 ligands showing an unexpected complete switch in functional activity despite only small changes in their chemical structure ...

Constitutive internalization and recycling of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5)

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2012
Ligand-dependent and ligand-independent endocytic trafficking of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) is critical for accurate receptor-mediated signaling and its regulation. Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is a GPCR that plays a crucial role in circuit formation in the brain and also in various forms of synaptic plasticity including learning

Differential effects of protein phosphatases in the recycling of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5

Neuroscience, 2015
The major excitatory neurotransmitter Glutamate acts on both ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in the central nervous system. mGluR5, a member of the group I mGluR family is widely expressed throughout the brain and plays important roles in a variety of neuronal processes including various forms of synaptic plasticity.
