Description

cannabinoid receptor 2

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable cannabinoid receptor activity. Involved in trans-synaptic signaling by endocannabinoid, modulating synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within leukocyte chemotaxis. Predicted to be located in dendrite; endoplasmic reticulum; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be extrinsic component of cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; immune system; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human CNR2 (cannabinoid receptor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
