The glutamate receptor, metabotropic 1, also known as GRM1, is a human gene which encodes the metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) protein.[5][6][7]

Function

L-

cyclic AMP cascade but differ in their agonist selectivities. Alternative splice variants of the GRM1 gene have been described but their full-length nature has not been determined.[5]

A possible connection has been suggested between mGluRs and neuromodulators, as mGluR1 antagonists block adrenergic receptor activation in neurons.[8]

Studies with knockout mice

Mice lacking functional glutamate receptor 1 were reported in 1994. By

Morris watermaze test, an assay for learning abilities, those mice needed significantly more time to successfully complete the task.[9]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the GRM1 gene may contribute to melanoma susceptibility.[10] Antibodies against mGluR1 receptors cause cerebellar ataxia and impair long-term depression (LTDpathies) in the cerebellum.[11]

Ligands

In addition to the orthosteric site (the site where the endogenous ligand glutamate binds) at least two distinct

allosteric binding sites exist on the mGluR1.[12] A respectable number of potent and specific allosteric ligands – predominantly antagonists/inhibitors – has been developed in recent years, although no orthosteric subtype-selective ligands have yet been discovered (2008).[13]

  • JNJ-16259685: highly potent, selective non-competitive antagonist[14]
  • R-214,127 and [3H]-analog: high-affinity, selective allosteric inhibitor[15]
  • YM-202,074: high-affinity, selective allosteric antagonist[16]
  • YM-230,888: high-affinity, selective allosteric antagonist[17]
  • YM-298,198 and [3H]-analog: selective non-competitive antagonist[18]
  • FTIDC: highly potent and selective allosteric antagonist/inverse agonist[19]
  • A-841,720: potent non-competitive antagonist; minor hmGluR5 binding[20]
  • VU-71: potentiator[12]
  • Fluorinated 9H-xanthene-9-carboxylic acid oxazol-2-yl-amides: orally available PAMs[21]
  • Cyclothiazide: selective non-competitive antagonist of the mGluR1[22] (also AMPA potentiator and minor mGluR5 potentiator but not antagonist[23])
  • Riluzole : selective non-competitive antagonist[24]
  • Theanine : possible indirect inhibitor[25]
