G-coupled protein receptors [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_protein–coupled_receptor GPCR] are trans-membrane proteins that are integral to cell signaling. The human genome encodes for approximately 750 GPCRS, 350 of which are known to respond to extracellular ligands.<ref name="GPCRRep">PMID: 12679517 </ref>. GPCRs are divided into four major classes based on sequence similarity and transduction mechanism; Class A,B,C, and F.<ref name="MSGPCR">PMID:23407534</ref>. Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 (mGlu<sub>5</sub>) is a class C GPCR that is involved in the G<sub>q</sub> pathway <ref name="CCGPCR">PMID:12782243</ref>. mGlu<sub>5</sub>is highly expressed in neuronal and glial cells in the central nervous system, where glutamate serves as the major neurotransmitter.

A number of intramolecular interactions within the trans-membrane domain stabilize the inactive conformation of mGlu<sub>5</sub>. The first of these interactions is an ionic interaction, termed the <scene name='72/726409/Ionic_lock2/1'>Ionic Lock </scene>, between Lysine 665 of TM3 and Glutamate 770 of TM6. Evidence for the importance of this interaction came through a kinetic study of mutant proteins where both residues were separately mutated to alanine resulting in constitutive activity of the GPCR and its coupled pathway<ref name="Primary">PMID: 25042998 </ref>.A second critical interaction that stabilizes the inactive conformer is a <scene name='72/726409/Hydrogen_bond_614-668/1'>Hydrogen Bond </scene> between Serine 614 of ICL1 and Arginine 668 of TM3. Similarly, when Serine 614 is mutated to alanine high levels of activity are seen in the mutant GPCR<ref name="Primary">PMID: 25042998 </ref>. | A number of intramolecular interactions within the trans-membrane domain stabilize the inactive conformation of mGlu<sub>5</sub>.
