Abstract excerpt
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) serve important neuromodulatory roles at glutamatergic synapses to shape excitatory neurotransmission. Recent evidence indicates that the desensitization of mGluRs is an important determinant in regulating the functions of these receptors. The present results demonstrate that G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs), which are known to regulate the desensitization of many...
