CB1 Receptors
The CB1 receptor, also known as the central cannabinoid receptor, is a member of the cannabinoid receptor group of G-protein-coupled receptors that also includes CB2 and GPR55. CB1 receptors are found mainly in the terminals of central and peripheral neurons.

The CB1 receptor, also known as the central cannabinoid receptor, is a member of the cannabinoid receptor group of G-protein-coupled receptors that also includes CB2 and GPR55. CB1 receptors are found mainly in the terminals of central and peripheral neurons, where they usually mediate inhibition of neurotransmitter release. They can also be present on some non-neuronal cells, including immune cells.
