mGluR agonist
Metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist
- G-protein-coupled, not ionotropic
- Modulates transmitter release and excitability rather than fast transmission
- A slower, tuning layer over glutamate signaling
- Glutamate is the only relevant agonist
Drugs with this mechanism (2)
- Aspartate — Excitatory amino acid and NMDA-receptor agonist.
- Glutamate — The primary excitatory neurotransmitter of the CNS.
