mGluR5 iso2 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 activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system and generates a calcium-activated chloride current. Plays an important role in the regulation of synaptic plasticity and the modulation of the neural network activity. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family. 3 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
