Summary: Enables group III metabotropic glutamate receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including adenylate cyclase-inhibiting G protein-coupled glutamate receptor signaling pathway; detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Predicted to be located in neuronal cell body and presynaptic membrane. Predicted to be active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and presynaptic active zone membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; gonad; ileum; liver and biliary system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; autistic disorder; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human GRM8 (glutamate metabotropic receptor 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
