Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 2 (GPRC1B or MGLUR2 or GRM2) - Pipeline Review, H2 2018

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 2 (GPRC1B or MGLUR2 or GRM2) - Metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 is a protein encoded by the GRM2 gene. It is a 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, such as adenylate cyclase. Signaling inhibits adenylate cyclase activity. May mediate suppression of neurotransmission or may be involved in synaptogenesis or synaptic stabilization.
