mGluR4
G-protein coupled receptor for glutamate. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors. Signaling inhibits adenylate cyclase activity. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family. Strongly expressed in the cerebellum. Expressed at low levels in hippocampus, hypothalamus and thalamus. No expression detected in liver. 5 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
