Abstract
Metabotropic receptor mGluR7 is identified and sequenced. The mGluR7 receptor subfamily mediates inhibition of transmitter release at selected glutamatergic synapses. The receptors, mGluR7-specific peptides and antibodies thereto are used to identify agonists and antagonists of G protein coupled glutamate receptor mediated neuronal transmitter release, as well as in methods of diagnosis and therapy.
