		Structured_description	Provisional_description	mgl-2 encodes a Group I metabotropic glutamate receptor (OMIM:604473, 604102, loss-of-function mutations in mice are associated with defects in long-term potentiation); by homology, MGL-2 is predicted to function as a post-synaptic G protein-coupled receptor that, in response to glutamate binding, stimulates phospholipase C activity and increases neuronal excitation, and in mammalian tissue culture cells, glutamate stimulation of MGL-2 does result in increased phosphoinositide turnover; a mutation in mgl-2 indicates that it is required for normal head movements and tap reversal reflexes, while loss of mgl-2 activity via large-scale RNAi screens indicates that MGL-2 is also required for embryogenesis; a mgl-2::GFP reporter is expressed in interneurons.

	Remark	Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.	CGC_data_submission
