The mGluR proteins (metabotropic glutamate receptors) are members of the G-protein-coupled receptor family and are functionally and pharmacologically distinct from the GluR proteins (ionotropic glutamate receptors). The eight currently known mGluR proteins are mediated by two G-proteins with opposing regulation of adenylate cyclase pathways. mGluR-2 (also known as GRM2) and mGluR-3 (also known as GRM3), two members of the mGluR family, are multi-pass membrane proteins that are thought to interact with GRASP, possibly acting as receptors for glutamate. Additionally, they may also be involved in the regulation of neurotransmission suppression and in synaptogenesis or synaptic stabilization.
