G-protein coupled receptor for glutamate. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors. Signaling activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system and generates a calcium-activated chloride current. Plays an important role in the regulation of synaptic plasticity and the modulation of the neural network activity. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa22-580 from human Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5, fused to 10X His-Tag at N-terminal and Myc-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in E.coli.
