The metabotropic glutamate receptors: Structure and functions
Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. For many years it has been considered to act only on ligand-gated receptor channels--termed NMDA, AMPA and kainate receptors--involved… Expand
TRPM1 is required for the depolarizing light response in retinal ON-bipolar cells
The ON pathway of the visual system, which detects increases in light intensity, is established at the first retinal synapse between photoreceptors and ON-bipolar cells. Photoreceptors hyperpolarize… Expand
Glutamate Transporter Studies Reveal the Pruning of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and Absence of AMPA Receptor Desensitization at Mature Calyx of Held Synapses
We examined the effect of glutamate transporter blockade at the calyx of Held synapse. In immature synapses [defined as postnatal day 8 (P8) to P10 rats], transporter blockade causes tonic activation… Expand
A novel metabotropic glutamate receptor expressed in the retina and olfactory bulb
A novel metabotropic glutamate receptor, mGluR8, was identified by screening a mouse retina cDNA library. This receptor is most related to mGluR4, mGluR7, and mGluR6 (74%, 74%, and 70% identical… Expand
Pharmacological and functional diversity of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
Recent molecular cloning studies have identified several genes encoding alpha and beta subunits of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. These genes have distinct, although overlapping, patterns of… Expand
Alpha 3, alpha 5, and beta 4: three members of the rat neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-related gene family form a gene cluster.
We have identified two additional members of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR)-related gene family. cDNA clones for one new gene, designated alpha 5, were isolated from rat… Expand
The functional diversity of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors is increased by a novel subunit: β4
A new nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit, beta 4, was identified by screening a rat genomic library. In situ hybridization histochemistry revealed expression of the beta 4 gene in the… Expand
Increased Seizure Susceptibility in Mice Lacking Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 7
To study the role of mGlu7 receptors (mGluR7), we used homologous recombination to generate mice lacking this metabotropic receptor subtype (mGluR7−/−). After the serendipitous discovery of a sensory… Expand
Localization of mGluR6 to dendrites of ON bipolar cells in primate retina
We prepared antibodies selective for the C‐terminus of the human mGluR6 receptor and used confocal and electron microscopy to study the patterns of immunostaining in retina of monkey, cat, and… Expand
Role of the Second and Third Intracellular Loops of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors in Mediating Dual Signal Transduction Activation*
On the basis of sequence homology and structural similarities, metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), extracellular Ca2+-sensing receptor, γ-aminobutyric acid type B receptor, and pheromone… Expand
