Molecular Insights into Epigenetics and Cannabinoid Receptors [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2022 The actions of cannabis are mediated by G protein-coupled receptors that are part of an endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS). ECS consists of the naturally occurring ligands N-arachidonylethanolamine (anandamide) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), their ...

Current Biology, 2002 Abstract Cannabinoid receptors are seven transmembrane receptors that mediate the central and peripheral actions of extracts from the cannabis plant. Although many endogenous agonists of cannabinoid receptors have been described, a categorical role of these (mainly fatty acid derived) molecules as the endogenous ligand for cannabinoid ...

Cannabinoid receptors in invertebrates [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2006 Abstract Two cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, are expressed in mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish. The presence of cannabinoid receptors in invertebrates has been controversial, due to conflicting evidence. We conducted a systematic review of the literature, using expanded search parameters. Evidence presented in the literature varied
