Relationship between metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor and their roles in diseases / 上海交通大学学报（医学版）

ABSTRACT

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) belongs to metabotropic and ionotropic glutamate receptor family, respectively. In recent years, a lot of attention has been paid to these two types of glutamate receptors in the field of neuroscience and psychiatry. This article mainly summarized the research progress of the relationship between these two kinds of receptors and the influence of their relationship on different diseases.
