About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for GRM6: L-glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and activates both ionotropic andmetabotropic glutamate receptors. Glutamatergic neurotransmission is involved in most aspects of normal brain functionand can be perturbed in many neuropathologic conditions. The metabotropic glutamate receptors are a family of Gprotein-coupled receptors, that have been divided into 3 groups on the basis of sequence homology, putative signaltransduction mechanisms, and pharmacologic properties. Group I includes GRM1 and GRM5 and these receptors have beenshown 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 agonistselectivities. (provided by RefSeq) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: GRM6_HUMAN, O15303Function: Receptor for glutamate. The activity of this receptor is mediated by a G-protein that inhibits adenylatecyclase activity
summary
for GRM6: Metabotropic Glutamate (mGlu) group III receptors are members of the metabotropic class of glutamate receptors, which also includes mGlu group I and mGlu group II receptors. Group III receptors are divided into four subtypes, mGlu4, mGlu6, mGlu7 and mGlu8. The receptors are coupled to Gi/o which inhibits adenylyl cyclase, decreasing the formation of cAMP. mGlu group III receptors are involved in spatial learning and memory, and umami taste (mGlu4), stimulation of photoreceptors (mGlu6), long term depression (mGlu7) and presynaptic inhibition in the perforant pathway (mGlu8). The human genes for mGlu4, mGlu6, mGlu7 and mGlu8 receptors have been localized to chromosomes 6 (6p21.3), 5 (5q35), 3 (3p26-p25) and 7 (7q31.3-q32.1) respectively.

GRM6 for disorders About GeneDecksing
OMIM: 604096 disorders: 257270 UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: GRM6_HUMAN, O15303
Defects in GRM6 are the cause of congenital stationary night blindness type 1B (CSNB1B) [MIM:257270]. Thisdisorder consits of a previously unrecognized, autosomal recessive form of congenital night blindness associated witha negative electroretinogram waveform. Patients are night blind from an early age, and when maximally dark-adapted,they could perceive lights only with an intensity equal to or slightly dimmer than that normally detected by the conesystem. ERGs in response to single brief flashes of light have clearly detectable a-waves, which are derived fromphotoreceptors, and greatly reduced b-waves, which are derived from the second-order inner retinal neurons. ERGs inresponse to sawtooth flickering light indicate a markedly reduced ON response and a nearly normal OFF response. Thereis no subjective delay in the perception of suddenly appearing white vs black objects on a gray background
