endoCANNABINOIDS Actions at Non-CB1/CB2 Cannabinoid Receptors

The cloning of two G protein-coupled cannabinoid receptors, termed CB1 and CB2, in the early 1990s has stimulated and facilitated research conducted on the physiological function of cannabinoid actions in the brain and throughout the body. In the twenty years since the identification of these two re...
