Biochem/physiol Actions

Cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) is a G protein-coupled receptor that belongs to the cannabinoid receptor family and is encoded by CNR2 gene in humans. It is also referred as CB2, CX5 and CB-2. It acts as a major receptor in the endogenous cannabinoid system. It is associated with immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory effects and acts an important regulator of (T-independent) immune response. CB2R is abundantly expressed in immune tissues.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline, containing 1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin, 50% glycerol and 0.05% sodium azide.

Recent studies have suggested immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) activation, which shows no psychoactivity. However, it is still unclear whether CB2R is expressed in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) of RA. In this study we investigated whether CB2R

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

Plasma concentrations of N-arachidonyletholamine (AEA), N-oleoylethanolamide (OEA) and N-palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) increase at term and can predict when a woman is likely to go into labour. We hypothesised that increased plasma AEA concentrations in women in preterm and term labour might

Cannabinoid receptor 2 (CNR2) is a major receptor in the endogenous cannabinoid system. In recent years, many studies have shown that the receptor is closely associated with schizophrenia. This study examined the relationship between CNR2 gene polymorphisms (rs2501432C/T, rs2229579C/T, rs2501401G/A)

The major active ingredient of marijuana, delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta 9-THC), has been used as a psychoactive agent for thousands of years. Marijuana, and delta 9-THC, also exert a wide range of other effects including analgesia, anti-inflammation, immunosuppression, anticonvulsion, alleviation of
