Biochem/physiol Actions

Cannabinoids exert their well-known physiological effects through two G-protein coupled receptors, CB1 and CB2. The cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) is widely distributed in mammalian tissues, with the highest concentrations found in brain neurons while CB2 receptor function primarily in the peripheral immune system, found in spleen and may be present in the central nervous system, including the retina. The cannabinoid receptor type 1 are involved in modulation of adenylate cyclase and ion channels. It is also involved in the modulation of nociception, movement, learning and memory, emotion and many other neuronal processes. It also plays an essential role in drug addiction. CB1 receptor blockade may be useful for treatment of angiotensin II-dependent hypertension and associated metabolic syndrome.
