Endocannabinoid receptors are prevalent in eye structures, and interestingly, CBG is thought to be particularly effective in treating glaucoma because it reduces intraocular pressure.
P2X7 receptor is a type of ion channel expressed in glial cells of the central nervous system, and is known to be deeply involved in the process of forming and sustaining chronic pain.
Serotonin receptors are the targets for many widely used drugs prescribed to treat ailments from depression to obesity and migraine headaches(see the Perspective by Palczewski and Kiser).
The NMDA receptor is a voltage-gated ion channel closely involved in memory, in spatial learning and perturbing the normal behavior of this receptor system with NMDA exposure has facilitated elucidation of NMDA receptor-mediated activities.
Dopamine receptors have been intensively studied because of their central role in normal brain function and their involvement in a number of central nervous system diseases.
The IGF-2 receptor only binds IGF-2 and acts as a"clearance receptor"- it activates no intracellular signalling pathways, functioning only as an IGF-2 sequestering agent and preventing IGF-2 signalling.
By 1988, it was known that the human brain has receptors for phytocannabinoids- in fact, these receptors are the most common type of receptor found in the human brain.
The IGF-2 receptor only binds IGF-2 and acts as a"clearance receptor"- it activates no intracellular signaling pathways, functioning only as an IGF-2 sequestering agent and preventing IGF-2 signaling.
Many cell types and tissues in the body use chemical sensors, or chemosensors, to keep track of the concentration of hormones, metabolites and other molecules, and some of these chemosensors are olfactory receptors.
However, constant interleukin-7 receptor activation causes T cells to die, so the T cell receptor intermittently blocks the activity of the interleukin-7 receptor..
Both Gα-GTP and Gβγ can then activate different signaling cascades(or second messenger pathways) and effector proteins, while the receptor is able to activate the next G protein.
Opioid receptors are widely distributed in the central nervous system and govern the intracerebral reward system, emotional control, pain control. Three subtypes(μ or mu; κ or kappa; δ or delta) are known.
CB1 receptors are the most abundant G-protein coupled receptor in the mammalian brain, and they are now known to be in almost all peripheral tissues and cell types, albeit at much lower densities than in the brain, and are recognized for their important regulatory functions.
In addition, the orexin receptor is considered to be related with eating and emotional behavior, thus the research development of not only agonists but antagonists is expected to be useful for clarifying the mechanism of eating behavior, depressant and anxiety symptoms.
