| Abstract |
Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (I-mGluRs) modulate numerous cellular functions such as specific membrane currents and neurotransmitter release linked to their ability to mobilize calcium from intracellular calcium stores. As such, most I-mGluR research to date has focused on the coupling of these receptors to phospholipase C (PLC)-dependent and inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (IP3)-mediated calcium release via activation of IP3 receptors located upon the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum. However, there are now numerous examples of PLC- and IP3-independent I-mGluR-evoked signals, which may instead be mediated by activation of ryanodine receptors (RyRs). A prime candidate for mediating this coupling between I-mGluR activation and RyR opening is cyclic ADP ribose (cADPR) and, indeed, several of these PLC-/IP3-independent I-mGluR-evoked calcium signals have now been shown to be mediated wholly or partly by cADPR-evoked activation of RyRs. The contribution of cADPR signalling to I-mGluR-mediated responses is relatively complex, dependent as it is on factors such as cell type, excitation state of the cell and location of I-mGluRs on the cell. However, these factors notwithstanding, I-mGluR-mediated cADPR signalling remains poorly characterized, with several key aspects yet to be fully elucidated such as (1) the range of stimuli which evoke cADPR production, (2) the specific molecular mechanism(s) coupling cADPR to RyR activation and (3) the contribution of cADPR-mediated responses to downstream outputs such as synaptic plasticity. Furthermore, it is possible that the cADPR pathway may play a role in diseases underpinned by dysregulated calcium homoeostasis such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 February 2016.
All research outputs
#18,411,569
of 22,807,037 outputs
Outputs from Biochemical Society Transactions
#2,926
of 3,328 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#193,011
of 267,538 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biochemical Society Transactions
#11
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,807,037 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,328 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 267,538 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
