Allosteric nanobodies uncover a role of hippocampal mGlu2 receptor homodimers in contextual fear consolidation

G protein-coupled receptors are considered promising therapeutic targets. Here, the authors have identified nanobodies, or single-domain llama antibodies, that specifically enhance agonist-induced activity of a type of G protein-coupled receptor, the mGlu2 receptor.
