Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables calcium channel regulator activity and voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Involved in chemical synaptic transmission and presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral fear response; learning or memory; and transmission of nerve impulse. Located in presynaptic membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; reproductive system; and spinal cord. Used to study Werdnig-Hoffmann disease. Orthologous to human GRM7 (glutamate metabotropic receptor 7).
