Pyk2 uncouples metabotropic glutamate receptor G protein signaling but facilitates ERK1/2 activation

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are coupled via Gα<sub>q/11 </sub>to the activation of phospholipase Cβ, which hydrolyzes membrane phospholipids to form inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. This results in the release of...
