Summary: Enables group III metabotropic glutamate receptor activity. Involved in detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; glutamatergic synaptic transmission; and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Located in neuronal cell body and presynaptic membrane. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and presynaptic active zone membrane. Used to study Parkinsonism; epilepsy; and visual epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; autistic disorder; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human GRM8 (glutamate metabotropic receptor 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

This study shows via knockdown of endogenous MEF2A in primary neuronal culture, that MEF2A is specifically required for Group I metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR)-mediated GluA2 internalisation, but does not regulate AMPAR expression or trafficking under basal conditions.
Title: MEF2A regulates mGluR-dependent AMPA receptor trafficking independently of Arc/Arg3.1.
Results show that group III mGluRs negatively modulate TRPA1 activity on cutaneous nociceptors. Furthermore, it is likely that this modulation occurs intracellularly at the level of the cAMP/PKA pathway. This study demonstrates that group III agonists may be effective in the treatment of mechanical hypersensitivity which can develop as a result of inflammation, nerve injury, chemotherapy and other disease states.
Title: Group III mGluR8 negatively modulates TRPA1.
Findings from the present study showed that trigeminal neurons express mGluR1alpha, mGluR2/3 and mGluR8, while SGCs only express mGluR1alpha and mGluR8.

These results suggest that stimulation of mGluR8 inhibits thermoceptive responses and mechanical allodynia.

These data suggest that mGluR7 in the nucleus tractus solitarius display an inhibitory effect, while mGluR8 displays a facilitatory effect in modulating cardiac nociception

In conclusion, our data identify a mode of presynaptic inhibition which allows mGluR8 to profoundly inhibit vesicle fusion.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
