Molecular biology of cannabinoid receptors
B Lutz - Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids …, 2002 - Elsevier
During the last decade, research on the molecular biology and genetics of cannabinoid
receptors has led to a remarkable progress in understanding of the endogenous
cannabinoid system, which functions in a plethora of physiological processes in the animal.
At present, two types of cannabinoid receptors have been cloned from many vertebrates,
and three endogenous ligands (the endocannabinoids arachidonoyl ethanolamide, 2-
arachidonoyl glycerol and 2-arachidonoyl-glycerol ether) have been characterized …
