Role of Cannabinoid Receptors in Psychological Disorder
Borneo Journal of Pharmacy, 2020 Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the endocannabinoid system. Cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors are G protein-coupled receptors present from the early stages of gestation, which is involved in various physiological processes,

Cannabinoids and Cannabinoid Receptors: The Story so Far [PDF]
iScience, 2020 Like most modern molecular biology and natural product chemistry, understanding cannabinoid pharmacology centers around molecular interactions, in this case, between the cannabinoids and their putative targets, the G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2).

Expression of the endocannabinoid receptors in human fascial tissue
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2016 Cannabinoid receptors have been localized in the central and peripheral nervous system as well as on cells of the immune system, but recent studies on animal tissue gave evidence for the presence of cannabinoid receptors in different types of tissues ...

Effects of cannabinoids on ligand-gated ion channels
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Phytocannabinoids such as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol, endocannabinoids such as N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol, and synthetic cannabinoids such as CP47,497 and JWH-018 constitute major groups of ...

Opioid and cannabinoid receptors
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1994 Opioids and cannabinoids are two major classes of drugs with important clinical uses as well as significant side effects. Recently, the three major subtypes of opioid receptors, delta, kappa and mu, have been cloned. Both the endogenous cannabinoids and their receptors have also recently been cloned.

Functional role of cannabinoid receptors in urinary bladder
Indian Journal of Urology, 2010 Cannabinoids, the active components of Cannabis sativa (marijuana), and their derivatives produce a wide spectrum of central and peripheral effects, some of which may have clinical applications.

The Functional Neuroanatomy of Brain Cannabinoid Receptors
Neurobiology of Disease, 1998 The effects of the primary psychoactive constituent of marijuana, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, are mediated by cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2. The CB1 receptors display a unique central nervous system (CNS) distribution and are present in mammalian brain

Effects of endocannabinoid system modulation on cognitive and emotional behavior
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2011 Cannabis has long been known to produce cognitive and emotional effects. Research has shown that cannabinoid drugs produce these effects by driving the brain's endogenous cannabinoid system and that this system plays a modulatory role in many cognitive ...

New Insights Into Peptide Cannabinoids: Structure, Biosynthesis and Signaling
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020 Classically, the endocannabinoid system (ECS) consists of endogenous lipids, of which the best known are anandamide (AEA) and 2 arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), their enzyme machinery for synthesis and degradation and their specific receptors, cannabinoid ...
