WE have isolated clones of a novel splice variant of metabotropic glutamate receptor type 1 (mGluR1) from a human cerebellum cDNA library. Translation of this variant, mGluR1g would result in the addition of just one amino acid after the exon/intron boundary where the other splice variants diverge. RNA dot blot analysis using an mGluR1g-specific probe demonstrated expression in the cerebellum and also high levels in the kidney. Northern blotting using the same probe showed expression of a 4 κB…

TLDR
Group I mglurs are similarly expressed in brain areas of both larval and adult zebrafish, suggesting that their functions are comparable during these stages, and expression pattern of paralogs generated by the teleost‐specific whole genome duplication is overlapping in some brain regions but complementary in others, suggesting sub‐ and/or neofunctionalization in the latter.
