Insight into the function of Group I and Group II metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors: behavioural characterization and implications for the treatment of CNS disorders

Abstract

Following the molecular cloning in the early 1990s of the metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu1-8), research that focused on the physiology, pharmacology and function of these receptors revealed their potential role in CNS disorders. Numerous psychiatric and neurological dis-orders are indeed linked to changes in excitatory processes, in which glutamate plays a key role. In contrast to ligand-gated ion channels [N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoazolepropionic acid (AMPA) and kainate], which are responsible for fast excitatory transmission, mGlu receptors have a more modulatory role, by contributing to fine-tuning of synaptic efficacy, and control of the accuracy and sharpness of the transmission. Given the fact that the mGlu receptors are G-protein coupled, they obviously constitute new 'drugable' targets for the treatment of various CNS disorders. Due to the recent emergence of subtype-specific ligands for Group I and II mGlu receptors, this review will concentrate on the molecular characteristics, brain localization, pharmacology and physiological role of these receptors, in order to provide further insights into their therapeutic potential.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
