General description

L glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Glutamatergic neurotransmission is involved in most aspects of normal brain function and can be perturbed in many neuropathologic conditions. The metabotropic glutamate receptors are a family of G protein coupled receptors that have been divided into 3 groups. Group I includes GRM1 and these receptors have been shown to activate phospholipase C. GRM1 expression has been reported in various regions of the brain and spinal cord. ESTs have been isolated from brain and eye libraries.

Immunogen
