Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)

Enables group III metabotropic glutamate receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; glutamatergic synaptic transmission; and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Predicted to be located in neuronal cell body and presynaptic membrane. Predicted to be active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and presynaptic active zone membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; ileum; liver and biliary system; nervous system; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; autistic disorder; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human GRM8 (glutamate metabotropic receptor 8).
