Background: Glutamate receptors constitute the principal excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in brain. Two classes of glutamate receptors exist: Ionotropic receptors, and metabotropic receptors (mGluRs). Ionotropic glutamate receptors are oligomeric complexes of various subunits (GluR1 7, NMDA1 3, KAI 2) which comprise ligand gated calcium channels. Metabotropic glutamate receptors are G protein coupled receptors that contain 7 membrane spanning domains and a large extracellular N terminal region. When activated, they can activate phopholipases or adenylylcyclase, depending on the neuron. The group I receptors mGluR1 and mGluR5 activate phospholipase C. By screening a human brain cDNA library with a rat mGluR1 alpha cDNA under low stringency conditions, Minakami et al. (1993) and Minakami et al. (1994) isolated human cDNAs encoding mGluR5. Minakami et al. (1993) identified a longer isoform of mGluR5 (mGluR5B).Synonyms: GPRC1E, MGLUR5, Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5
