Immuno-pharmacological characterization of group II metabotropic glutamate receptors controlling glutamate exocytosis in mouse cortex and spinal cord

We recently proposed the existence of mGluWe studied the effect of LY566332, an mGluCortical synaptosomes possess LY566332-sensitive autoreceptors that are slightly, although significantly, susceptible to LY2389575. In contrast, LY566332-insensitive and LY2389575-sensitive autoreceptors are present in spinal cord terminals. BINA and ML337 mimicked LY566332 and LY2389575, respectively, in controlling LY379268-mediated inhibition of glutamate exocytosis from both cortical and spinal cord synaptosomes. Incubation of cortical synaptosomes with anti-mGluWe confirmed that mGlu
