We herein report the presence of a variant of the rat metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) cDNA. In this variant, named mGluR5b, an extra 96 bp sequence is inserted into the originally reported mGluR5 cDNA. The position of this insertion corresponds to that of the 85 bp insertion reported for the alternative form of mGluR1, another subtype of the receptors (designated as mGluR1 beta). No sequence-similarity was found between the additional sequences of the mGluR1 beta and the…

Cloning and characterization of alternative mRNA forms for the rat metabotropic glutamate receptors mGluR7 and mGluR8

The two isoforms of each receptor have identical pharmacological profiles when expressed in heterologous systems, despite structural differences in the carboxyl‐terminal domains.

The Expression of Two Splice Variants of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Subtype 5 in the Rat Brain and Neuronal Cells During Development

An extracellular application of trans‐d,l‐1‐amino‐1,3‐cyclopentanedicarboxylate on the neuron‐like P19 cells induced intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, thus suggesting that the cells could express functional mGluR(s) coupled to phospholipase C and other components that could mediate the signal transduction pathway.

Molecular, functional, and pharmacological characterization of the metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5 splice variants: comparison with mGluR1

A splice variant of mGluR5 is characterized which contains a 32 amino acid fragment inserted in the cytoplasmic tail, 50 residues after the 7th transmembrane domain, which indicates that the long C-terminal intracellular domain present only in mGlam glutamate receptors, although not well conserved, is likely to be involved in the specific functional properties of these receptors.

Regional Expression and Regulation of Alternative Forms of mRNAs Derived from Two Distinct Transcription Initiation Sites of the Rat mGluR5 Gene

The genetic basis indicating the diverse mechanisms involved in the regulation of mGluR5 expression is provided, including up‐regulated or down‐regulated during the early postnatal period, depending on the brain regions.
