Abstract excerpt
Metabotropic glutamate receptors, which are linked via G-proteins to second messenger systems, have been implicated in the physiological regulation of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta as well as in neurodegeneration. Of the eight known metabotropic glutamate receptors, m...
