GRM3

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 inhibits adenylate cyclase activity.

Sequence Similarities

Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family.

Tissue Specificity

Detected in brain cortex, thalamus, subthalamic nucleus, substantia nigra, hypothalamus, hippocampus, corpus callosum, caudate nucleus and amygdala.

Cellular localization

Alternative names

GPRC1C, MGLUR3, GRM3, Metabotropic glutamate receptor 3, mGluR3
