Cnr2 - cannabinoid receptor 2 Gene
Also Known as CB2; CB-2; CB2C; CNR2C
Species: Rattus norvegicus
About Cnr2
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 196 orthologues, 18 paralogues and is associated with 28 phenotypes. Biased expression in Spleen (RPKM 23.), Lung (RPKM 25.2) and 5 other tissues.
Summary
Enables Cannabinoid Receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of GABAergic synaptic transmission; negative regulation of mast cell activation; and negative regulation of nitric-oxide synthase activity. Located in dendrite and neuronal cell body. Is extrinsic component of cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Used to study Huntington's disease; arthritis; and sciatic neuropathy. Biomarker of pancreatitis. Orthologous to human CNR2 (Cannabinoid Receptor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
