General description

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is a G-protein mediated glutamate receptor that generates a calcium-activated chloride current. mGluR5 is widely distributed in neuronal cells of the central nervous system.
~150-270 kDa observed. This protein may be observed at higher molecular weights due to glycosylation (Bhave, G., et al. (2003). J Biol Chem. 278(32):30294-30301). This protein is observed as a dimer at ~270 kDa, but is observed as a monomer at ~140 kDa under reduced conditions in SDS-PAGE (Romano, C., et al. (1996). J Biol Chem. 271(45):28612-28616.). Uncharacterized band(s) may be observed in some cell lysates.

Pathways and Biomarkers of Glutamatergic Synapse Flyer

Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter found in the synaptic vesicles of glutamatergic synapses. The post-synaptic neurons in these synapses contain ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Glutamate binds to AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5- methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid) subtype glutamate receptors, leading to sodium influx into the post-synaptic cell and resulting in neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission. The NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) subtype glutamate receptors, on the other hand, regulate synaptic plasticity, and can influence learning and memory. The metabotropic g-protein coupled mGluRs modulate downstream calcium signaling pathways and indirectly influence the synapse’s excitability. The synaptic architecture includes intracellular scaffolding proteins (PSD-95, GRIP), intercellular cell adhesion molecules (NCAMs, N-Cadherins), and a variety of signaling proteins (CaMKII/PKA, PP1/PP2B). Processes critical for synaptic transmission and plasticity are influenced by these molecules and their interactions. When the function of these molecules is disrupted, it leads to synaptic dysfunction and degeneration, and can contribute to dementia as seen in Alzheimer’s disease.
