Metabotropic glutamate receptor 1

UniProtKB accession:  P23385

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  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. May participate in the central action of glutamate in the CNS, such as long-term potentiation in the hippocampus and long-term depression in the cerebellum (PubMed:10945991, PubMed:1438218, PubMed:1656524, PubMed:1847995). May function in the light response in the retina (By similarity).
