Difference between Cannabinoid receptor type 2 and Gi alpha subunit

Cannabinoid receptor type 2 vs. Gi alpha subunit

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. Gi alpha subunit (Gαi, or Gi/G0 or Gi protein) is a heterotrimeric G protein subunit that inhibits the production of cAMP from ATP.

Similarities between Cannabinoid receptor type 2 and Gi alpha subunit

Cannabinoid receptor type 2 and Gi alpha subunit have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adenylyl cyclase, Cannabinoid receptor, Cannabinoid receptor type 1, Cyclic adenosine monophosphate, Dopamine, G protein–coupled receptor.

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.

Cannabinoid receptor

Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the endocannabinoid system, which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.

Cannabinoid receptor type 1

The cannabinoid type 1 receptor, often abbreviated as CB1, is a G protein-coupled cannabinoid receptor located in the central and peripheral nervous system.

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP, cyclic AMP, or 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate) is a second messenger important in many biological processes.

Dopamine

Dopamine (DA, a contraction of 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) is an organic chemical of the catecholamine and phenethylamine families that plays several important roles in the brain and body.

G protein–coupled receptor

G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as seven-(pass)-transmembrane domain receptors, 7TM receptors, heptahelical receptors, serpentine receptor, and G protein–linked receptors (GPLR), constitute a large protein family of receptors that detect molecules outside the cell and activate internal signal transduction pathways and, ultimately, cellular responses.

Cannabinoid receptor type 2 and Gi alpha subunit Comparison

Cannabinoid receptor type 2 has 92 relations, while Gi alpha subunit has 75. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 3.59% = 6 / (92 + 75).
