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 2. Receptor expression on cell surface measured by flow cytometry (FACS) using an anti-FLAG antibody. Thin line: parental cells; thick line: receptor-expressing cells.
