fusion protein containing amino acids 1-99 of the human CB1 receptor.
Application
Anti-Cannabinoid Receptor 1 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a working dilution of 1:250 and for immunocytochemistry at a working dilution of 1:1000.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cannabinoids exert their well-known physiological effects through two G-protein coupled receptors, CB1 and CB2. The cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) is widely distributed in mammalian tissues, with the highest concentrations found in brain neurons while CB2 receptor function primarily in the peripheral immune system, found in spleen and may be present in the central nervous system, including the retina. The cannabinoid receptor type 1 are involved in modulation of adenylate cyclase and ion channels. It is also involved in the modulation of nociception, movement, learning and memory, emotion and many other neuronal processes. It also plays an essential role in drug addiction. CB1 receptor blockade may be useful for treatment of angiotensin II-dependent hypertension and associated metabolic syndrome.

The type 1 and type 2 cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2 receptors) are class A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are activated by endogenous lipids called endocannabinoids to modulate neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission in neurons throughout the central nervous
Objective: To identify new biochemical markers for endometrial cancer (EC). Recent evidence suggests that members of the endocannabinoid system (N-acylethanolamines) that bind to and activate receptors that are dysregulated in EC are involved in this tumour's biology. These observations suggest
Current medicinal chemistry, 6(8), 635-664 (1999-09-02)
Mammalian tissues contain at least two types of cannabinoid receptor, CB1 and CB2, both coupled to G proteins. CB1 receptors are expressed mainly by neurones of the central and peripheral nervous system whereas CB2 receptors occur in certain non-neuronal tissues
Drug and alcohol dependence, 143, 251-256 (2014-08-30)
Cannabinoid CB1 receptors play an essential role in drug addiction. Given the side effect profiles of orthosteric CB1 antagonism, new strategies have been attempted to modulate this target, such as CB1 receptor allosteric modulation. However, the effect of CB1 allosteric
Annual review of pharmacology and toxicology, 38, 179-200 (1998-05-23)
Marijuana has been in use for over 4000 years as a therapeutic and as a recreational drug. Within the past decade, two cannabinoid receptor types have been identified, their signal transduction characterized, and an endogenous lipid agonist isolated from mammalian
