CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor Signaling and Biased Signaling [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 The CB1 cannabinoid receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor highly expressed throughout the central nervous system that is a promising target for the treatment of various disorders, including anxiety, pain, and neurodegeneration.

Crystal Structure of the Human Cannabinoid Receptor CB1 [PDF]
Cell, 2016 SUMMARY Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) is the principal target of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a psychoactive chemical from Cannabis sativa with a wide range of therapeutic applications and a long history of recreational use.

Voltage dependence of the cannabinoid CB1 receptor
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Cannabinoids produce their characteristic effects mainly by binding to two types of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors.

Internalization and Recycling of the CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor [PDF]
Journal of Neurochemistry, 1999 Abstract : Tolerance develops rapidly to cannabis, cannabinoids, and related drugs acting at the CB1 cannabinoid receptor. However, little is known about what happens to the receptor as tolerance is developing. In this study, we have found that CB1 receptors are rapidly internalized following agonist binding and receptor activation ...

Cannabinoid CB1 receptors regulate salivation
Scientific Reports, 2022 AbstractSaliva serves multiple important functions within the body that we typically take for granted, such as helping prepare food for swallowing and defense against oral pathogens. Dry mouth is a primary symptom of Sjӧgren’s syndrome and is a side effect of many drug treatments.
