Anti-mGluR1, recombinant antibody

Protein 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 (PubMed:24603153, PubMed:28886343, PubMed:7476890). May function in the light response in the retina. [The UniProt Consortium]
