The distribution of the metabotropic glutamate receptors mGluR2 and mGluR3 was immunohistochemically examined in the rat cerebellar cortex at both light and electron microscope levels. An antibody was raised against a fusion protein containing a C-terminal portion of mGluR2. On immunoblot, the antibody reacted with both mGluR2 and mGluR3 in rat brain. mGluR2/3 immunoreactivity was expressed in cell bodies, dendrites, and axon terminals of Golgi cells, as well as in presumed glial processes. Golgi axon terminals with mGluR2/3 immunoreactivity were often encountered in the vicinity of glutamatergic messy fiber terminals. The results suggest that transmitter glutamate may exert control influences upon Golgi cells not only through dendritic mGluR2/3, but also through axonal mGluR2/3.
