Facts about Cannabinoid receptor 1.
Signaling typically involves reduction in cyclic AMP (PubMed:1718258, PubMed:21895628, PubMed:27768894). In the hypothalamus, might have a dual effect on mitochondrial respiration depending upon the agonist dose and possibly upon the cell type.

Widely expressed, with highest levels in fetal and adult brain. Expression levels of isoform 2 and isoform 3 are much lower than those of isoform 1.
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Membrane raft. Mitochondrion outer membrane. Cell projection, axon. Cell junction, synapse, presynapse. Unexpectedly, in the mitochondria, the C-terminus is located in the mitochondrial intermembrane space, a compartment topologically considered as extracellular. In canonical seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors, the C-terminus is cytosolic (By similarity). Found on presynaptic axon terminals in some GABAergic neurons in the somatosensory cortex (By similarity).
