DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

The GPR55 receptor is a receptor protein that belongs to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors. The coding gene of the same name is located on chromosome 2q37.1.

GPR55 transcripts are detected mainly in neurons in brain nuclei associated with movement control: striatum, globus pallidus, nucleus subthalamicus, substantia nigra and cortex (Celorrio M et al. 2017). Furthermore, in monocytes and in cells of microglia. GPR55 modulates inflammatory processes (Saliba SW et al 2018).

General informationThis section has been translated automatically.

Abn-cannabidiol (Abn-CBD), a synthetic cannabidiol (CBD) isomer, is a GPR55 agonist. Activation of GPR55 may be beneficial in the treatment of PD (Celorrio M et al. 2017).
