General description

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (MGLUR2) with 872 amino acid residues is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 3. MGLUR2 belongs to the class c of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCRs) family. It is expressed mainly in the central nervous system (CNS) of rat brain and widely expressed in human adult and fetal brain. MGLUR2 is characterized with an α-helical helix 8 (H8) domain.

Immunogen

The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human mGluR2/3.

Immunogen Range: 823-872

Biochem/physiol Actions

Metabotropic glutamate receptor (MGLUR2) is involved in the glutamatergic system in the brain. Overexpression of glutamate in brain areas such as the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and amygdala leads to anxiety and schizophrenia, activation of MGLUR2 in these areas reduces the excitatory neurotransmission, therefore mGlu2 receptor might be considered as a potential target for the treatment of these diseases. MGLUR2 signaling inhibits adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity. MGLUR2 is crucial in the modulation of synaptic transmission.
