Described is a novel subtype of metabotropic glutamate receptors, nucleic acid molecules encoding such receptors, vectors comprising the described nucleic acid molecules, as well as antibodies directed against said receptor. Furthermore, nucleic acid probes are described which specifically hybridize with the nucleic acid molecules, pharmaceutical and diagnostic compositions, transgenic non-human animals as well as methods to identify agonists and antagonists of the described receptor. |
