Disease relevance of GRM6

  • Mutations in GRM6 cause autosomal recessive congenital stationary night blindness with a distinctive scotopic 15-Hz flicker electroretinogram [1].

Chemical compound and disease context of GRM6

 

Biological context of GRM6

 

Anatomical context of GRM6

  • Analysis of an agonist selectivity and an expression pattern of mGluR6 has indicated that mGluR6 is responsible for synaptic neurotransmission from photoreceptor cells to ON-bipolar cells in the visual system [6].
  • All mGluR subtypes are found in the cerebellar cortex with the exception of mGluR6 which is exclusively expressed in the retina [7].
  • These studies demonstrated that [3H]LY341495 is a useful radioligand for studying the pharmacology and expression of recombinant mGlu6, 7a and 8a receptors in cell lines [8].
  • In contrast, we demonstrated sufficient specific binding of [3H]LY341495 to human mGlu6, mGlu7a and mGlu8a receptor-expressing cell membranes to allow for further characterizations [8].
  • To determine which specific G proteins from the Galphai/o family are able to couple to mGluR6, a Galpha reconstitution system was employed using PTX-insensitive Galpha mutants expressed with mGluR6 in PTX-treated sympathetic neurons from the rat superior cervical ganglion (SCG) [9].
 

Associations of GRM6 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of GRM6

  • In addition, GRIN2A and GRM6 loci were successfully localized on Chr 10 linkage maps by linkage analyses [13].
  • When tested at group II and III receptors, MPEP did not show agonist or antagonist activity at 100 microM on human mGlu2, -3, -4a, -7b, and -8a receptors nor at 10 microM on the human mGlu6 receptor [14].
  • [3H]L-AP4 binding was present in human embryonic kidney cells transfected with the high-affinity mGluR4 receptor but not in cells transfected with mGluR6 or the low-affinity mGluR7 receptor [15].
  • The efficiency of coupling to mGluR6 was Goa > Gob, Gi1 > Gi2, Gi3, whereas no coupling was observed with Galphaz, nor with the retinal Galpha proteins, rod (GNAT2) or cone (GNAT1) transducin (GalphaTr-R, GalphaTr-C) [9].
  • G protein coupling profile of mGluR6 and expression of G[alpha] proteins in retinal ON bipolar cells [9].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of GRM6

  • Gene targeting of mGluR6 results in a loss of ON responses without changing OFF responses and severely impairs detecting visual contrasts [16].
  • Novel splice variants of metabotropic glutamate receptor type 6 (mGlu6 receptor) were identified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification and sequence analysis of rat and human retina cDNAs [11].
  • We prepared antibodies selective for the C-terminus of the human mGluR6 receptor and used confocal and electron microscopy to study the patterns of immunostaining in retina of monkey, cat, and rabbit [17].
