    Background

    mGluR5, a metabotropic glutamate receptor, is a class C G protein-coupled receptor that signals through the Gaq/11-PLC-inositol 1,4,5 triphosphate pathway (1). mGluR5 is comprised of a large N-terminal extracellular domain, seven transmembrane domains, and a C-terminal intracellular domain. Glutamate binding to mGluR5 leads to an increase in intracellular calcium levels and stimulation of PKC activity (2). In neurons, mGluR5 is found in the post-synapse, in a complex with NMDA receptors, PSD-95, SHANK, and Homer (3). mGluR5 is also expressed in microglia and astrocytes (4). Neuronal mGluR5 has been shown to interact with amyloid beta oligomers, and mGluR5 antagonists exhibit neuroprotective effects (5) placing mGluR5 as a potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease. In glial cells, mGluR5 appears to play an anti-inflammatory role by negatively regulating the release of inflammatory factors (6).
