General description

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 or mGluR5 (UniProt Q3UVX5; also known as G protein-coupled receptor GRM5, G protein coupled receptor family C, group 1, member E) is encoded by the Grm5 (also known as Gprc1e, Mglur5, AI850523, 6430542K11Rik) gene in murine species (Gene ID 108071). The metabotropic glutamate receptors belong to a family of G protein-coupled receptors that have been divided into 3 groups based on their sequence homology, putative signal transduction mechanisms, and pharmacologic properties. mGluR1 and mGluR5 constitute Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors. mGluR5 is found on postsynaptic terminals of neurons and microglia. mGluR5 signals via Gq/G11 coupling to activate phospholipase C, resulting in calcium mobilization and activation of protein kinase C (PKC). In addition, mGluR5 is also reported to mediate signaling involving Src-family protein tyrosine kinase in a G protein-independent manner.

Specificity

The delta family of ionotropic glutamate receptors consists of glutamate delta-1 (GluD1) and glutamate delta-2 receptors. We have previously shown that GluD1 knockout mice exhibit features of developmental delay, including impaired spine pruning and switch in the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit

Soluble Amyloid-β oligomers (Aβo) can trigger Alzheimer disease (AD) pathophysiology by binding to cell surface cellular prion protein (PrP(C)). PrP(C) interacts physically with metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5), and this interaction controls the transmission of neurotoxic signals to intracellular substrates.
