Biological Significance
The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are key receptors in the modulation of excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. They are implicated in many forms of neural plasticity as well as learning and memory and drug abuse (Bhattacharya et al., 2004; Francesconi et al., 2004; Wilson and Nicoll, 2001). Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (consisting of mGluR1 and mGluR5) are G-protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptors that are localized in the perisynaptic region of the postsynaptic membrane. When activated, Group I mGluRs lead to stimulation of phospholipase and activation of Protein Kinase C. In contrast, activation of Group II metabotropic receptors (mGluR2 and mGluR3) leads to inhibition of adenylate cyclase. The mGluR1 receptor may also be critically involved in limiting the deleterious effects of excitotoxicity (Blaabjerg et al., 2003).

Other Notes

Small volumes of anti-GRM1 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

NCBI Summary for GRM1

may play a role in synaptic transmission; may modulate perception of pain in arthritis [RGD, Feb 2006]

UniProt Comments for GRM1

Function: G-protein coupled receptor for glutamate. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors. Signaling activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. May participate in the central action of glutamate in the CNS, such as long-term potentiation in the hippocampus and long-term depression in the cerebellum. Ref.1 Ref.2 Ref.4

Subunit structure: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. The PPXXF motif binds HOMER1, HOMER2 and HOMER3. Interacts with RYR1, RYR2, ITPR1, SHANK1 and SHANK3

By similarity. Interacts with SIAH1 and GRASP. Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8

Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Tissue specificity: Predominantly expressed in cerebellar Purkinje cells, CA2-CA3 pyramidal cells of the hippocampus, and mitral and tufted cells of the olfactory bulb. Ref.1 Ref.2

Miscellaneous: Activated by quisqualate > glutamate > ibotenate > trans-1- aminocyclopentyl-1,3-dicarboxylate; inhibited by 2-amino-3-phosphonopropionate.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family.
