Abstract
⺠Mgl-2, a Caenorhabditis elegans receptor had lower affinity for glutamate compared to rat mGluR5. ⺠Negative allosteric modulators were ineffective at mgl-2. ⺠CDPPB, an mGluR5 positive allosteric modulator, potentiated glutamate. ⺠The glutamate site is conserved whereas allosteric sites show evolutionary changes.
