Exciting times beyond the brain: metabotropic glutamate receptors in peripheral and non-neural tissues
Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors expressed primarily
on neurons and glial cells, where they are located in the proximity of the synaptic cleft. In …

Nerve growth factor-dependent activation of trkA receptors in the human ovary results in synthesis of follicle-stimulating hormone receptors and estrogen secretion
Context: Previous studies showed that nerve growth factor (NGF) induces the expression of
functional FSH receptors (FSHR) in preantral follicles of the developing rat ovary. Objective: …
