Together with GRM6, GRM7 and GRM8 it belongs to group III of the metabotropic glutamate receptor family. Group III receptors are linked to the inhibition of the cyclic AMP cascade.[7] Activation of GRM4 has potential therapeutic benefits in the treatment of parkinson's disease. Splice variant "taste-GRM4" is involved in the perception of umami taste.[8]

Ligands

Orthosteric

  • Cinnabarinic acid, a tryptophan metabolite[9]
  • LSP1-2111: agonist[10]
  • LSP4-2022: agonist[11]
  • LSP2-9166: mixed agonist at mGluR4 and mGluR7

Positive allosteric modulators (PAMs)

  • Foliglurax (PXT-002331, DT-1687)
  • Tricyclic thiazolopyrazole derivative 22a: EC50 = 9 nM, Emax = 120%[12]
  • ML-128: EC50 = 240 nM, Emax = 182%[13][14]
  • VU0652957 (AP-472) (Valiglurax)[15]
  • VU-0418506[16][17]
  • VU-001171: EC50 = 650 nM, Emax = 141%, 36-fold shift[18]
  • VU-0155041: subtype-selective PAM, intrinsic allosteric agonist activity, robust in-vivo activity[19]
  • PHCCC: PAM of mGluR4, negative allosteric modulator of mGluR1,[20] direct agonist at mGluR6[21]
