Abstract excerpt
We previously showed that the metabotropic glutamate receptor 1alpha (mGluR1alpha) has a sensitivity to extracellular polyvalent cations such as Ca(2+) and Gd(3+) as well as glutamate. Here we show that mGluR1alpha-mediated responses to these ligands are modulated by the scaffold protein Homer. When HEK293 cells were transiently cotransfected with Homer 1c and mGluR1alpha, the maximum rate of rise and amplitude...
