Almost 25 years after the first report that glutamate can activate receptors coupled to heterotrimeric G-proteins, tremendous progress has been made in the field of metabotropic glutamate receptors. Now, eight members of this family of glutamate receptors, encoded by eight different genes that share distinctive structural features have been identified. The first cloned receptor, the metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptor mGlu1 has probably been the most extensively studied mGlu receptor, and in…

Metabotropic glutamate receptors: From the workbench to the bedside
Group I Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and Interacting Partners: An Update
TLDR
The data from recent studies are analyzed and an update is provided on the biochemical and physiological properties of a set of proteins or molecules that interact with and thus regulate mGlu1/5 receptors.
Presynaptic Release-regulating Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors: An Update
TLDR
The pharmacological characterization of these receptors and on their receptor-receptor interaction / oligo-dimerization in nerve endings that could be relevant to the development of new therapeutic approaches for the cure of central pathologies are focused on.
Pharmacological characterization of mGlu1 receptors in cerebellar granule cells reveals biased agonism
Control of neuronal excitability by Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors
TLDR
A survey of the membrane transport proteins responsible for these electrical effects of Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors is provided, including G protein-dependent and -independent signal transduction pathways.
Presynaptic Release-Regulating mGlu1 Receptors in Central Nervous System
TLDR
This review aims at revisiting the data from in vitro studies concerning the existence and the role of release-regulating mGlu1 receptors presynaptically located in nerve terminals isolated from selected regions of the CNS.
Insights on the Functional Interaction between Group 1 Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors (mGluRI) and ErbB Receptors
TLDR
This work focuses on the modulatory roles of the ErbB tyrosine kinases receptors—activated by the neurotrophic factors neuregulins (NRGs)—on mGluRI function, and describes current evidence supporting that mGLURI are targets of TKs.

TLDR
The positive allosteric calcium sensing receptor modulator cinacalcet is the first drug of this type to enter the market and therefore provides proof of principle in humans and is reviewed in light of their specific structural features and current concepts in receptor theory.

Metabotropic Glutamate 1α and Adenosine A1 Receptors Assemble into Functionally Interacting Complexes*
TLDR
The results provide a molecular basis for adenosine/glutamate receptors cross-talk and open new perspectives for the development of novel agents to treat neuropsychiatric disorders in which abnormal glutamatergic neurotransmission is involved.

Metabotropic glutamate receptors
TLDR
The distinct regional, cellular and subcellular distribution of mGlus in the brain will be discussed in view of their relationship to neurotransmitter release sites and of possible functional implications.
Molecular Determinants of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 1B Trafficking
TLDR
The results indicate that these splice variants of mGluR1 utilize different targeting pathways and suggest that this may be a general phenomenon in the metabotropic glutamate receptor gene family.

Competitive Antagonism by Phenylglycine Derivatives at Type 1 Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors
TLDR
Stably expressed mGluR1 in Chinese hamster ovary cells was evaluated by means of two methods and their degree of correspondence was analyzed, and quisqualate showed a differential activity on the two methods behaving as a partial agonist and as a full agonist on the inositol phosphate and the CDP-DAG responses, respectively.
Molecular, functional, and pharmacological characterization of the metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5 splice variants: comparison with mGluR1
TLDR
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.
A new type of glutamate receptor linked to inositol phospholipid metabolism
TLDR
Evidence is reported for a new type of Glu receptor, which prefers Q A as agonist, and which directly activates inositol phospholipid metabolism through interaction with GTP-binding regulatory proteins, leading to the formation of inositl 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and mobilization of intracellular Ca2+.
