Tissue Specificity | Predominantly expressed in cerebellar Purkinje cells, CA2-CA3 pyramidal cells of the hippocampus, and mitral and tufted cells of the olfactory bulb. |
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 activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. May participate in the central action of glutamate in the CNS, such as long-term potentiation in the hippocampus and long-term depression in the cerebellum. May function in the light response in the retina. Induces GRID1 and GRID2 cation-channel activation via GNAQ-PLC-PKC pathway in dopaminergic neurons and cerebellar Purkinje cell, respectively. |
