Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor

G-protein-coupled receptors binding glutamate for slow synaptic signaling.

Key Functions:

• Modulates synaptic plasticity and excitability.
• Regulates learning and memory.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Glutamate Receptor (broader category)
• Nervous System (synaptic signaling)
• AMPA Receptor (complementary receptor)
