Annotation description:Knockdown of Homer3 activates mGluR1 signaling in cerebellar neurons suggesting that Homer3 is a negative regulator of mGluR signaling.

- The authors show that interaction of Homer3 with the receptor modulates the intrinsic activity of the mGluRs: "Our data show that neuronal activity-dependent modulation of the interaction between a GPCR and its associated intracellular protein can elicit receptor activity independently of agonist binding, and with a time constant different from that of agonist-mediated activation."
