Target Background

Function(From Uniprot)
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 inhibits adenylate cyclase activity.
Gene References into Functions
  1. Results show that group III mGluRs negatively modulate TRPA1 activity on cutaneous nociceptors. Furthermore, it is likely that this modulation occurs intracellularly at the level of the cAMP/PKA pathway. This study demonstrates that group III agonists may be effective in the treatment of mechanical hypersensitivity which can develop as a result of inflammation, nerve injury, chemotherapy and other disease states. PMID:27497709
  2. Findings from the present study showed that trigeminal neurons express mGluR1alpha, mGluR2/3 and mGluR8, while SGCs only express mGluR1alpha and mGluR8. PMID:24495291
  3. These results suggest that stimulation of mGluR8 inhibits thermoceptive responses and mechanical allodynia. PMID:24304862
  4. These data suggest that mGluR7 in the nucleus tractus solitarius display an inhibitory effect, while mGluR8 displays a facilitatory effect in modulating cardiac nociception PMID:22617702
  5. In conclusion, our data identify a mode of presynaptic inhibition which allows mGluR8 to profoundly inhibit vesicle fusion. PMID:21903594
  6. Selective activation of mGluR8 with L(+)-2-amino-4-phosphnobytyric acid decreased the probability of glutamate release from the mossy fiber terminals synapsing onto stratum lacunosum-moleculare interneurons. PMID:20824730
  7. SUMO E3 ligases are expressed in the retina and regulate SUMOylation of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 8b. PMID:21288202
  8. mGlur8 may be involved in shaping synaptic transmission in the medulla oblongata. PMID:12443992
  9. mGluR8 immunoreactivity was localized to the membrane of nerve cell bodies that received glutamatergic input. mGluR8 agonists increase motility by inhibiting nitrergic relaxation and possibly by facilitating cholinergic contractions. PMID:12829438
  10. Pias1 binds to and sumoylates metabotropic glutamate receptor 8 PMID:16144832
  11. Results describe the role of metabotropic glutamate-8 receptor (mGluR8) gene expression in cerebellum during epilepsy and neuroprotective role of Bacopa monnieri extract in epilepsy. PMID:17940877
  12. These data demonstrate a positive response of mGluR8 in mRNA abundance in most forebrain regions to repeated stimulant exposure. PMID:18255232
