| Description | This entry represents the proline-rich region of metabotropic glutamate receptor proteins that bind Homer-related synaptic proteins. Metabotropic glutamate receptors function as receptors for glutamate. The activity of this receptor is mediated by a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system.The Homer proteins form a physical tether linking mGluRs with the inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) that appears to be due to the proline-rich Homer ligand (PPXXFr). Activation of PI turnover triggers intracellular calcium release [ ]. Metabotropic glutamate receptor (MGluR) function is altered in the mouse model of human Fragile X syndrome, a disorder caused by loss of function mutations in the Fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 gene Fmr1. Homer 3 (and to a lesser extent Homer 1b/c) has been shown to form a multimeric complex with mGlu1a and the IP3 receptor, indicating that Homers may play a role in the localisation of receptors to their signalling partners []. |
