Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors

Cell surface proteins that bind glutamate and act through G-proteins to influence second messenger systems. Several types of metabotropic glutamate receptors have been cloned. They differ in pharmacology, distribution, and mechanisms of action.

Also Known As:

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor; Glutamate Receptor, Metabotropic; Receptors, Metabotropic Glutamate; Receptor, Metabotropic Glutamate; Glutamate Receptors, Metabotropic; Receptors, Glutamate, Metabotropic
