Receptors, Cannabinoid

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: A class of G-protein-coupled receptors that are specific for CANNABINOIDS such as those derived from CANNABIS. They also bind a structurally distinct class of endogenous factors referred to as ENDOCANNABINOIDS. The receptor class may play a role in modulating the release of signaling molecules such as NEUROTRANSMITTERS and CYTOKINES.  note specific subtypes   
See Also Cannabinoids; Endocannabinoids
Examples Receptor, Cannabinoid, CB1; Receptor, Cannabinoid, CB2 		Other names Receptor, Marijuana; Receptor, Cannabinoid; Marijuana Receptor; Cannabinoid Receptors; Cannabinoid Receptor
