This gene encodes one of two cannabinoid receptors. The cannabinoids, principally delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and synthetic analogs, are psychoactive ingredients of marijuana. The cannabinoid receptors are members of the guanine-nucleotide-binding protein (G-protein) coupled receptor family, which inhibit adenylate cyclase activity in a dose-dependent, stereoselective and pertussis toxin-sensitive manner. The two receptors have been found to be involved in the cannabinoid-induced CNS effects (including alterations in mood and cognition) experienced by users of marijuana. Multiple transcript variants encoding two different protein isoforms have been described for this gene. (provided by RefSeq)

Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CNR1) also known as the type-1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 6q15. The encoded protein is a member of the class A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family and is highly expressed in the brain and the central nervous system.

CNR1 (NP_057167, 1 a.a. ~ 110 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.

Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CNR1) plays a key role in regulation of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is involved in most of the activities of the brain and body. Mutations in the gene has been associated with the development of hebephrenic schizophrenia. Experimental studies hypothesize that aberrations in CNR1 gene increases the risk of susceptibility to substance abuse.
