Enables calcium channel regulator activity and group II metabotropic glutamate receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within gene expression. Located in several cellular components, including glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic density; and synaptic membrane. Is integral component of postsynaptic membrane. Is integral component of presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; immune system; and visual system. Orthologous to human GRM3 (glutamate metabotropic receptor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
