Data Sheet
Background: Cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2 or CNR2) is involved in cannabinoid- induced central nerve system effects. It could be a receptor for anandamide. The receptor is a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of various disease conditions, such as pain, multiple sclerosis, vascular disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other central nerve system disorders.
Application: Functional assays
Figure 1. Dose-dependent stimulation from arrestin recruitment upon treatment with ligand, measured with MultiscreenTM β-Arrestin Assay Kit (Multispan MSBA01). Figure 2. Dose-dependent inhibition of forskolin-stimulated intracellular cAMP level upon treatment with ligand, measured with MultiscreenTM TR-FRET cAMP 1.0 No Wash Assay Kit (Multispan MSCM01). Figure 3. Receptor expression on cell surface measured by flow cytometry (FACS) using an anti-FLAG antibody. Thin line: parental cells; thick line: receptor-expressing cells.
