" /> Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5;

NCIt synonyms : GRM5; mGluR5; Glutamate Receptor, Metabotropic 5; Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor-5;

NCIt definition : Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (1212 aa, 132 kDa) is encoded by the human GRM5 gene. This protein plays a role in both glutamate binding and downstream signal transduction.;

Alternative definition : CDISC: An antigen encoded by the GRM5 gene and is involved in both glutamate binding and downstream signal transduction. It can be considered as an autoantigen and is commonly associated with autoimmune encephalitis.;

NCIt note : L-glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and activates both ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Glutamatergic neurotransmission is involved in most aspects of normal brain function and can be perturbed in many neuropathologic conditions. The metabotropic glutamate receptors are a family of G protein-coupled receptors that have been divided into 3 groups on the basis of sequence homology, putative signal transduction mechanisms, and pharmacologic properties. Group I includes GRM1 and GRM5 and these receptors have been shown to activate phospholipase C. Group II includes GRM2 and GRM3 while Group III includes GRM4, GRM6, GRM7 and GRM8. Group II and III receptors are linked to the inhibition of the cyclic AMP cascade but differ in their agonist selectivities.;
