Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * GRM6 is a transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 140 kDa. * It is a member of the glutamate receptor family, which is the largest family of G protein-coupled receptors. * GRM6 is expressed in a variety of cell types, including rod bipolar cells, blood vessel endothelial cells, colon goblet cells, enterocytes of the epithelium of the large intestine, photoreceptor cells, intestinal crypt stem cells of the small intestine, transit amplifying cells of the small intestine, enterocytes of the epithelium of the small intestine, and cerebral cortex GABAergic interneurons. **Pathways and functions:** * GRM6 is a key component of the adenylate cyclase-inhibiting g protein-coupled glutamate receptor signaling pathway, which is involved in synaptic transmission. * It is also involved in the detection of light stimulus involved in visual perception. * GRM6 is a ligand for G protein-coupled receptor 5 (GPCR5), which is a receptor for the neurotransmitter glutamate. * When GRM6 binds to glutamate, it activates GPCR5, which leads to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase. * This inhibition of adenylate cyclase prevents the production of cyclic GMP, which is a second messenger that is involved in synaptic transmission. * As a result of the inhibition of adenylate cyclase, the glutamate receptor is unable to activate the G protein, which leads to the inhibition of downstream signaling pathways. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in GRM6 have been linked to several neurological disorders, including autism, schizophrenia, and epilepsy. * These mutations can disrupt the function of GRM6, leading to the overactivity of glutamate receptors and the development of these neurological disorders.
