The mGluR1 metabotropic glutamate receptor is a G-protein-coupled receptor that exists as different C-terminal splice variants. When expressed in mammalian cells, the mGluR1 splice variants exhibit diverse transduction mechanisms and also slightly differ in their apparent agonist affinities. In the

## Abstract Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) play important roles in neurotransmission, neuronal development, synaptic plasticity, and neurological disorders. Recent studies have revealed a sophisticated interplay between mGluRs and protein kinases: activation of mGluRs regulates the activ
## Abstract Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors are found at various levels of the somatosensory/nociceptive signalling pathways from the periphery to the cerebral cortex. The distribution of the receptors in the brain and within and around synapses suggests considerable functional specialisati
## Abstract Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and calcium receptors (CaR) are closely related G proteinβcoupled receptors (GPCRs). The similar structural and functional properties of mGluRs and CaRs include conserved amino acid residues involved in glutamate binding in mGluRs and Ca^2+^ bin
Neurons of the chick cochlear nucleus, nucleus magnocellularis (NM), require eighth nerve activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) for maintenance of intracellular calcium homeostasis. Interrupting this activation results in an increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca 2Ο© ]
Astrocytes are thought to control extracellular glutamate concentrations ([Glu] o ) in the brain, thereby protecting neurons from excitotoxic injury. We investigated the effects of metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonists on glutamate transport and [Glu] o in primary hippocampal astrocytic c
