Data Sheet Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are G protein-coupled receptors that have been divided into three groups based on sequence, putative signal transduction mechanisms, and pharmacologic properties. mGluR2 is a group II receptor, receptors in this group are linked to the inhibition of the cyclic AMP cascade but differ in their agonist selectivity.

In humans mGluR2 is exclusively expressed in the brain where it is found in neurons as well as astrocytes, predominantly at the presynaptic terminal, although it is also expressed at the postsynaptic terminal. mGluR2 controls glutamate release and is required for generating network oscillations by mediating changes in excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission through altering NMDA and AMPA receptor function. These oscillations are considered critical for normal central nervous system (CNS) function.

mGluR2 has been linked to the regulation of sleep and sleep disturbances as well as to the development of drug addiction and of psychiatric and neurological disorders. mGluR2 may therefore be a promising target for the treatment of such conditions.
