Metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GRM4 gene. [5] [6] [7]

Together with GRM6, GRM7 and GRM8 it belongs to group III of the metabotropic glutamate receptor family. Group III receptors are linked to the inhibition of the [[cyclic AMP cascade. [7] Activation of GRM4 has potential therapeutic benefits in the treatment of parkinson's disease. Splice variant "taste-GRM4" is involved in the perception of umami taste. [8]
