Target Details for Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5

Target: Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 (GRM5) (Glutamate Receptor, Metabotropic 5 (GRM5))

Alternative Name: GRM5

Background:

Synonyms: Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5, mGluR5, GRM5, GPRC1E, MGLUR5

Tissue Specificity: Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are detected in bone marrow cells, spermatogonia and spermatocytes, but not in round spermatids, elongating spermatids and spermatozoa. Isoform 3 is detected in round spermatids, elongating spermatids and spermatozoa, but not in spermatogonia and spermatocytes (at protein level). Isoform 1 is widely expressed and detected in fetal liver and bone marrow. Isoform 3 is detected in bone marrow cells enriched in hematopoietic stem cells.

Background: Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5?is a?G protein-coupled receptor?that in humans is encoded by the?GRM5 gene. It is mapped to 11q14.2-q14.3. This gene encodes a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 3 protein family. The encoded protein is a metabatropic glutamate receptor, whose signaling activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. This protein may be involved in the regulation of neural network activity and synaptic plasticity. Glutamatergic neurotransmission is involved in most aspects of normal brain function and can be perturbed in many neuropathologic conditions. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on chromosome 11. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
