Grm5 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables protein tyrosine kinase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amyloid-beta; learning or memory; and positive regulation of calcium-mediated signaling. Acts upstream of or within learning; locomotory behavior; and regulation of long-term neuronal synaptic plasticity. Located in cytoplasm; neuron projection; and plasma membrane. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and dendrite. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Used to study schizophrenia. Orthologous to human GRM5 (glutamate metabotropic receptor 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Grm5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
