    text
  • recruitment to lipid rafts is enhanced by agonist binding and is supported at least in part by an intact cholesterol recognition/interaction amino acid consensus (CRAC) motif in the receptor
    • basic FUNCTION
  • activating PI turnover and triggering intracellular calcium release
  • important neuronal mediator of postsynaptic signaling that influence synaptic strength, plasticity, and other factors
  • control metaplasticity of spinal learning through a PKC-dependent mechanism
  • with GRM5, plays a role in the early stages of corticogenesis with, however, a different contribution to human cortical developmental events
  • involved in synaptic activities, learning and neuroprotection
  • important role of GRM1 in pain-related amygdala plasticity and evidence for the involvement of HOMER1 proteins in the forebrain in the modulation of pain hypersensitivity
  • plays an important role in cerebellar development and synaptic plasticity
  • can be an oncogene in epithelial cells
  • GRM1, GRM5 play critical functions in forms of activity-dependent synaptic plasticity and synapse remodeling in physiological and pathological states
  • assembly of two covalently linked monomers into dimeric complexes is a prerequisite for metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (GRM1) function
  • plays an important role in synaptic plasticity and cerebellar development
  • GRM1, GRM5 are key elements in the dynamic regulation of cholinergic synaptic inputs onto neurons of the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN)
  • novel function of ubiquitination in the regulation of GRM1, as well as its role in mGluR-dependent AMPAR endocytosis

    protein
  • binding to homer proteins
  • activating FMR1, TRPC1 and DLG4(activation GRM1-dependent)
  • binding partner of GOPC, through its PSD95/discslarge/ZO1 homology domain (inhibit GRM1-mediated ERK1/2 activation, without an apparent effect, via the C-terminal-truncated receptor)
  • molecular link between GRM1 and FMR1 in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a key region involved in high brain cognitive and executive functions
  • associates with the PDZ protein tamalin (GRASP)
  • interaction with caveolin-1 which controls the rate of constitutive GRM1 internalization
  • in addition to the MAPK pathway previously reported being a downstream target of stimulated GRM1, AKT2 is another downstream target in GRM1 mediated melanocyte transformation
  • STIM1 controls neuronal Ca++ signaling, GRM1-dependent synaptic transmission, and cerebellar motor behavior
  • cooperative signaling between GRM1 and GRM5 is in a manner inconsistent with heterodimerization, and thus suggest an interaction between homodimers
  • NRG1 selectively increases GRM1-activated currents by inducing synthesis and trafficking to membrane of functional receptors
  • NCDN interacts with GRM1 and GRM5
    • cell & other
  • linked to inositol phosphate receptors
