Recombinant Human Metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (GRM2), partial

1. mGlu2 receptors can play an influential role in reducing the probability of glutamate neurotransmitter release and potentially effect seizure activity. PMID: 29360159
2. Studies support a role for NHERF-1 and NHERF-2 (Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factors 1 and 2) in regulating the distribution of Group II metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluRs) in the murine brain, while conversely the effects of the mGluR2/3 PDZ-binding motifs on receptor signaling are likely mediated by interactions with other PDZ scaffold proteins beyond the NHERF proteins. PMID: 28392297
3. The present data demonstrateD that a mechanism of group II mGluR-induced analgesia identified in rodent sensory neurons translates mechanistically to human sensory neurons PMID: 27218869
4. this work offers new insights into the functioning of the mGlu2 receptor, which might contribute to the development of new and improved PAMs PMID: 26589404
5. Allosteric signaling through an mGlu2 and 5-HT2A heteromeric receptor complex and its potential contribution to schizophrenia. PMID: 26758213
6. Study furthers our understanding of positive allosteric modulation of the mGlu2 receptor and can contribute to improved future design of mGlu2 modulators. PMID: 25571949
7. Findings suggest that mGluR2/3 and mGluR5s are unaltered in the anterior cingulate cortex in psychotic and nonpsychotic depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia PMID: 24949866
8. Results demonstrate no changes in expression and density of both 5-HT2AR and mGlu2/3R in the postmortem prefrontal cortex of subjects with major depressive disorder under basal conditions; antidepressant treatment induces a decrease in 5-HT2AR density PMID: 25150943
9. Human anterior cingulate cortex from alcoholic patients shows a significant reduction in mGluR(2) transcripts compared to control subjects PMID: 23407939
10. Three residues located at the intracellular end of transmembrane domain four are necessary for the mGlu2 receptor binding to 5TR2A. PMID: 23129762
11. the structural properties for the H8 domain of the mGluR2 receptor; H8 behaves as a sensor of cholesterol concentration. PMID: 22870276
12. Only full-length dimeric mGlu2 activates G protein upon glutamate binding. PMID: 22988116
13. Suggest a genetic association exists between SNPs in several genes, such as HTR2A and NRG1, and response to mGlu2/3 agonist LY2140023 treatment in schizophrenia. PMID: 21173788
14. data support the idea that glutamate release in the vental tegmental area(VTA) is critically involved in cocaine-induced reinstatement; loss of mGluR2/3-mediated regulation of glutamate release in the VTA may critically contribute to the risk of relapse PMID: 21881873
15. Our results suggested that GRM2 may play a role in the pathophysiology of methamphetamine-induced psychosis but not schizophrenia in the Japanese population PMID: 20211215
16. No association is detected between GRM2 and major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder in an allele/genotype-wise or haplotype-wise analysis of Japanese patients. PMID: 19386277
17. Mapped to Chromosome 3p21.1 - p21.2 and has 5 exons ranging from 74 - 1076 bp. PMID: 11840499
18. The presynaptic group 2 metabotropic glutamate receptor reduces stimulated and spontaneous transmitter release in the dentate gyrus. PMID: 11897108
19. Reduction of mGluR2 immunopositive product in the stratum lacunosum moleculare of hippocampal CA1 is a consequence of neuronal loss in either the entorhinal cortex or CA1 area of the hippocampus. PMID: 15246118
20. Stimulation of glial mGluR2 through mediators present in the cerebrospinal fluid may contribute to glial proliferation and astrogliosis in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. PMID: 15330338
21. Authors have identified and synthesized a brain penetrant propanoic acid as an allosteric potentiator of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 2. PMID: 15837331
22. In post-mortem human brain from untreated schizophrenic subjects, the 2AR is upregulated and the mGluR2 is downregulated, a pattern that could predispose to psychosis PMID: 18297054
23. The expression of mGluR2, 3 in DA cells provide a mechanism for glutamate to modulate dopamine release in the human brain and this species-specific difference may be critical to understanding rodent models in schizophrenia. PMID: 18853337
24. findings show that the activation of mGluR2 leads to the activation of extracellular signal-related kinase pathways PMID: 19026996
25. The glutamate receptor metabotropic 2 mutants with increased structural flexibility at this position, which is crucial for pocket closure, were clearly preferred. PMID: 19402024
26. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of the mGlu2/3 receptor agonist LY404039 (LY) on operant EtOH self-administration during alcohol seeking pavlovian spontaneous recovery, alcohol relapse, and maintenance responding for alcohol. PMID: 16678921
27. Ser-148 and Arg-183 may be important for the 3D structure and/or are involved in closure of the domain. Asp-146 is involved in differential binding properties of mGlur2. PMID: 11641422
