Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5

UniProt P41594 Organism Homo sapiens Gene GPRC1E, GRM5, MGLUR5

Also known as: GPRC1E, GRM5, MGLUR5

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 and generates a calcium-activated chloride current. Plays an important role in the regulation of synaptic plasticity and the modulation of the neural network activity.
