[[Metabotropic glutamate receptor|Metabotropic glutamate receptors]] are [[Glutamate Receptors|glutamate receptors]] that activate ion channels indirectly through a signaling cascade involving G proteins<ref>PMID:20716669</ref>. They are members of the large class of seven-transmembrane domain receptors, the [[G protein-coupled receptor|G protein-coupled receptors]]. Glutamate receptors are classified into 3 groups based on their homology, mechanism and pharmacological properties. See also [[Ligand Binding N-Terminal of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors]].
