Difference between Cannabinoid receptor type 1 and Cannabinoid receptor type 2

Cannabinoid receptor type 1 vs. Cannabinoid receptor type 2

The cannabinoid type 1 receptor, often abbreviated as CB1, is a G protein-coupled cannabinoid receptor located in the central and peripheral nervous system. The cannabinoid receptor type 2, abbreviated as CB2, is a G protein-coupled receptor from the cannabinoid receptor family that in humans is encoded by the CNR2 gene.

Similarities between Cannabinoid receptor type 1 and Cannabinoid receptor type 2

Cannabinoid receptor type 1 and Cannabinoid receptor type 2 have 26 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adenylyl cyclase, AM-1221, AM-1235, AM-2232, Anandamide, Brainstem, Cannabinoid, Cannabinoid receptor, CREB, Cyclic adenosine monophosphate, Dopamine, Epigallocatechin gallate, G protein–coupled receptor, Gastrointestinal tract, JWH-007, JWH-015, JWH-018, Messenger RNA, Minocycline, N-Arachidonoyl dopamine, Nucleus accumbens, Tetrahydrocannabinol, UR-144, Virodhamine, 2-Arachidonoylglycerol, 2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether.

Adenylyl cyclase

Adenylyl cyclase (also commonly known as adenyl cyclase and adenylate cyclase, abbreviated AC) is an enzyme with key regulatory roles in essentially all cells.
