Function

G-protein coupled receptor for glutamate. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors. Signaling activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. May participate in the central action of glutamate in the CNS, such as long-term potentiation in the hippocampus and long-term depression in the cerebellum (By. similarity). May function in the light response in the retina (PubMed:26427409). Induces GRID1 and GRID2 cation-channel activation via GNAQ-PLC-PKC pathway in dopaminergic neurons and cerebellar Purkinje cell, respectively (PubMed:24357660, PubMed:27276689, PubMed:28696429).

Activity summary

MGluR1a also known as metabotropic glutamate receptor 1a is a G-protein coupled receptor with a mass of approximately 153 kDa. This receptor binds glutamate an excitatory neurotransmitter and initiates intracellular signaling by activating G-proteins. It is expressed in various regions of the brain such as the cerebellum hippocampus and olfactory bulb. The receptor is involved in modulating several synaptic processes by influencing the release of neurotransmitters.

Biological function summary

Glutamate receptor mGluR1a plays a significant role in neuroplasticity and synaptic transmission. It does not act alone but is part of a larger group of metabotropic glutamate receptors. These receptors participate in both excitatory and inhibitory signaling pathways affecting signal regulation and neuron connectivity. mGluR1a contributes to learning and memory processes through its ability to modulate synaptic strength.

Pathways

MGluR1a is an important component in the phosphatidylinositol signaling system and the glutamatergic synapse pathway. Both pathways are related to calcium ion homeostasis and protein trafficking in neurons. Among the related proteins Homer and Shank play a role in the mGluR1a signaling complex and aid in its function within these pathways affecting synaptic structure and plasticity.

Associated diseases and disorders

MGluR1a is associated with several neuropathological conditions. Alterations in its function or expression can contribute to the development of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. The receptor interacts with proteins like amyloid precursor protein (APP) and SynGAP which play roles in the etiology and progression of these conditions. Dysregulation of mGluR1a signaling may affect neuronal death and lead to cognitive defects seen in these diseases.
