receptores de canabinoides
Scope note: Clase de receptores acoplados a una proteína G, específicos para los CANNABINOIDES, como son los derivados del CANNABIS. También pueden unirse a otros factores endógenos estructuralmente diferentes, denominados ENDOCANNABINOIDES. Este tipo de receptor puede ser importante para la liberación de moléculas señalizadoras como son los NEUROTRANSMISORES y las CITOQUINAS.

Scope note: A class of G-protein-coupled receptors that are specific for CANNABINOIDS such as those derived from CANNABIS. They also bind a structurally distinct class of endogenous factors referred to as ENDOCANNABINOIDS. The receptor class may play a role in modulating the release of signaling molecules such as NEUROTRANSMITTERS and CYTOKINES.
