Design and validation of recombinant protein standards for quantitative Western blot analysis of cannabinoid CB1 receptor density in cell membranes: an alternative to radioligand binding methods
(BMC, 2022)
Background: Replacement of radioligand binding assays with antibody-antigen interaction-based approaches for quantitative analysis of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) levels requires the use of purified protein standards ...
Cannabis use selectively modulates circulating biomarkers in the blood of schizophrenia patients
(Wiley, 2022-11)
Cannabis use disorder is frequent in schizophrenia patients, and it is associated with an earlier age of onset and poor schizophrenia prognosis. Serotonin 2A receptors (5-HT2AR) have been involved in psychosis and, like ...
Up-regulation of CB1 Cannabinoid Receptors Located at Glutamatergic Terminals in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex of the Obese Zucker Rat.
(Frontiers Media, 2022-10-18)
The present study describes a detailed neuroanatomical distribution map of the cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor, along with the biochemical characterization of the expression and functional coupling to their cognate G i/o ...
