International Union of Pharmacology. XXVII. Classification of Cannabinoid Receptors
TLDR
It is considered premature to rename cannabinoid receptors after an endogenous agonist as is recommended by the International Union of Pharmacology Committee on Receptor Nomenclature and Drug Classification, because pharmacological evidence for the existence of additional types of cannabinoid receptor is emerging and other kinds of supporting evidence are still lacking. Expand
International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology. LXXIX. Cannabinoid Receptors and Their Ligands: Beyond CB1 and CB2
TLDR
This review summarizes current data indicating the extent to which cannabinoid receptor ligands undergo orthosteric or allosteric interactions with non- CB1, non-CB2 established GPCRs, deorphanized receptors such as GPR55, ligand-gated ion channels, transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, and other ion channels or peroxisome proliferator-activated nuclear receptors. Expand
Immunohistochemical distribution of cannabinoid CB1 receptors in the rat central nervous system
TLDR
The results generally agree well with the previous studies using CB1 receptor autoradiography and messenger RNA in situ hybridization, but because of its greater resolution, immunohistochemistry allowed identification of particular neuronal cells and fibers that possess cannabinoid receptors. Expand
Presynaptically Located CB1 Cannabinoid Receptors Regulate GABA Release from Axon Terminals of Specific Hippocampal Interneurons
TLDR
The results suggest that cannabinoid-mediated modulation of hippocampal interneuron networks operate largely via presynaptic receptors on CCK-immunoreactive basket cell terminals, the likely mechanism by which both endogenous and exogenous CB1 ligands interfere with hippocampal network oscillations and associated cognitive functions. Expand
Endocannabinoid activation at hepatic CB1 receptors stimulates fatty acid synthesis and contributes to diet-induced obesity.
TLDR
It is concluded that anandamide acting at hepatic CB(1) contributes to diet-induced obesity and that the FAS pathway may be a common molecular target for central appetitive and peripheral metabolic regulation. Expand
GPR55 is a cannabinoid receptor that increases intracellular calcium and inhibits M current
TLDR
GPR55 is established as a cannabinoid receptor with signaling distinct from CB1 and CB2, and its signaling pathway is found to involve Gq, G12, RhoA, actin, phospholipase C, and calcium release from IP3R-gated stores. Expand
Identification and Functional Characterization of Brainstem Cannabinoid CB2 Receptors
TLDR
These functional CB2 receptors in the brainstem were activated by a CB2 receptor agonist, 2-arachidonoylglycerol, and by elevated endogenous levels of endocannabinoids, which also act at CB1 receptors. Expand
Comparison of the pharmacology and signal transduction of the human cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors.
TLDR
Except for its inability to couple to the modulation of Q-type calcium channels or inwardly rectifying potassium channels, the CB1 and CB2 receptors display similar pharmacological and biochemical properties. Expand
Nonpsychotropic Cannabinoid Receptors Regulate Microglial Cell Migration
TLDR
This study identifies a cannabinoid signaling system regulating microglial cell migration and proposes that cannabinol and cannabidiol are promising nonpsychotropic therapeutics to prevent the recruitment of these cells at neuroinflammatory lesion sites. Expand
Distribution of CB1 Cannabinoid Receptors in the Amygdala and their Role in the Control of GABAergic Transmission
TLDR
It is proposed that these anatomical and physiological features, characteristic of CB1 receptors in several forebrain regions, represent the neuronal substrate for endocannabinoids involved in retrograde synaptic signaling and may explain some of the emotionally relevant behavioral effects of cannabinoid exposure.
