Metabotropic glutamate receptor
|
Metabotropic glutamate receptors are glutamate receptors that activate ion channels indirectly through a signaling cascade involving G proteins[1]. They are members of the large class of seven-transmembrane domain receptors, the G protein-coupled receptors. See also Ligand Binding N-Terminal of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors.
