Data Sheet
Background: Cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) is expressed in peripheral and immune tissues. CB2 in rodents is involved not only in processes of regulation of bone homeostasis but also in cannabinoid-induced central nerve system effects. This receptor can serve as potential therapeutic target in the treatment of various disorders affecting central nerve system or skeletal homeostasis. It was also demonstrated that CB2 receptor is involved in the reduction of chemotherapy-induced allodynia.
Application: Functional assays
