GPR55 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

The cannabinoid receptors CB1 (expressed primarily throughout the central nervous system) and CB2 (expressed in peripheral tissues) are members of the seven-transmembrane domain-containing family of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), and are named for their signaling function in response to cannabinoid drugs such as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9-THC). Significant evidence suggests that additional cannabinoid receptors may contribute to the many behavioral, vascular, and immunological effects of agonists such as THC and endogenous cannabinoids. Evidence suggests GPR55 may act as a cannabinoid receptor, although its definition as a bona fide "CB3" receptor remains controversial. GPR55 is highly expressed in large-diameter dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, and its activation by cannabinoid compounds (THC, JWH015, and anandamide) has been shown to release calcium from IP3-sensitive ER stores. These findings are opposed by evidence that suggests GPR55 is an intrinsic receptor for lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI).

Small volumes of anti-GPR55 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
