OverviewNCBI Gene
L-glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, and it activates both ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Glutamatergic neurotransmission is involved in most aspects of normal brain function and can be perturbed in many neuropathologic conditions. The metabotropic glutamate receptors are a family of G protein-coupled receptors that have been divided into three groups on the basis of sequence homology, putative signal transduction mechanisms, and pharmacologic properties. Group I includes GRM1 and GRM5, and these receptors have been shown to activate phospholipase C. Group II includes GRM2 and GRM3, while Group III includes GRM4, GRM6, GRM7 and GRM8. Group II and III receptors are linked to the inhibition of the cyclic AMP cascade but differ in their agonist selectivities. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads GRM7 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GRM7 could matter depends on whether native GRM7 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
GRM7 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GRM7 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label GRM7 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
