The cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) are G protein-coupled receptors that inhibit adenylate cyclase activity in response to psychoactive cannabinoids. CB1 is expressed in brain tissue and, in low levels, in testis. CB2 has been shown to be expressed only by cells of the immune system, specifically by HL-60 cells. The cannabinoid receptors mediate most of the cannabinoid-induced responses in a dose-dependent, stereoselective manner. CNRIP1 (cannabinoid receptor interacting protein 1), also known as CRIP1 (CB1 cannabinoid receptor-interacting protein 1), is a 164 amino acid protein and G-protein coupled receptor that belongs to the CNRIP family. Involved in appetite, synaptic plasticity, neuroprotection and analgesia, CNRIP1 exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms which have been designated CNRIP1 isoforms 1 and 2, or CRIP1a and CRIP1b, respectively. CNRIP1 isoform 1 is known to interact with CB1 but not CB2, thereby suppressing the inhibition of voltage-gated calcium channels. CNRIP1 isoform 2 does not have the same effect.
