Q

What is the binding required

A

Need a glutamate into both venus fly trap domains. They then close, changing the shape to activate the G protein

Q

Postsynaptically, what channels does ACPD block

A

K channels

17
Q

Where are mGluR1 located at glutaminergic synapses

A

Perisynaptically, can remove glutamate

18
Q

How can mGlu mediate disinhibition

A

Found on GABA releasing golgi cells. mGlu 2/3 reduce the release of GABA due to their inhibitory functions. TJis allows a bigger EPSP on granule cells by mossy fibres. Only atimulated after repeated firing of glu

19
Q

How can pain be reduced by mGlu

A

Use a group 1 antagonist to reduce wind up

20
Q

What mGlu allosteric modulator can be used for parkinsons in rats and what R

A

PhCCC, agonist on mGlu4

21
Q

what does PhCCC do

A

reduces reserpine induced akinesia in rats and protects against MPTP induced toxicity by reducing inhibitory pathway

22
Q

In Fragile X sydrome, what gene is distrupted

A

FMR1

23
Q

In FXS, what is association with mGlu

A

Hyperactive mGlu5

24
