Identification and Functional Characterization of Brainstem Cannabinoid CB₂ Receptors

The presence and function of CB₂ receptors in central nervous system (CNS) neurons are controversial. We report the expression of CB₂ receptor messenger RNA and protein localization on brainstem neurons. These functional CB₂ receptors in the brainstem were activated by a CB₂ receptor agonist, 2-arac...

description The presence and function of CB₂ receptors in central nervous system (CNS) neurons are controversial. We report the expression of CB₂ receptor messenger RNA and protein localization on brainstem neurons. These functional CB₂ receptors in the brainstem were activated by a CB₂ receptor agonist, 2-arachidonoylglycerol, and by elevated endogenous levels of endocannabinoids, which also act at CB₁ receptors. CB₂ receptors represent an alternative site of action of endocannabinoids that opens the possibility of nonpsychotropic therapeutic interventions using enhanced endocannabinoid levels in localized brain areas.
