Mutations in the GRM6 gene, which encodes the metabotropic glutamate receptor 6 (mGluR6), lead to autosomal recessive congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB), which is characterized by loss of night vision due to a defect in signal transmission from photoreceptor to the adjacent ON-bipolar cell

Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are extremely diverse in their subunit compositions. To understand the functional consequences of this diversity, it is necessary to know the subunits that are expressed by known cell types. By using immunocytochemistry with light and electron microscopy, we l
The amino acid glutamate plays a key role in brain function. One of the major roles of glutamate is to mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission via activation of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs). More recently, however, it has become clear that glutamate also serves a regulatory function thr
