Cannabinoid receptor 2 Antibodies
AND CNR2 ELISA kits, Cannabinoid receptor 2 Proteins
Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Cannabinoid receptor 2, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Cannabinoid receptor 2 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Cannabinoid receptor 2 antibodies...

CNR2 Overview
Facts about Cannabinoid receptor 2.
Cannabinoid receptor 2 (CNR2)
Heterotrimeric G protein-coupled receptor for endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol mediating inhibition of adenylate cyclase. May function in inflammatory response, nociceptive transmission and bone homeostasis.

Tissue Specificity
Preferentially expressed in cells of the immune system with higher expression in B-cells and NK cells (at protein level). Expressed in skin in suprabasal layers and hair follicles (at protein level). Highly expressed in tonsil and to a lower extent in spleen, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and thymus. PubMed:14657172 could not detect expression in normal brain. Expressed in brain by perivascular microglial cells and dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons (at protein level). Two isoforms are produced by alternative promoter usage and differ only in the 5' UTR: isoform CB2A is observed predominantly in testis with some expression in brain, while isoform CB2B is predominant in spleen and leukocytes.
Subcellular Localizations
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell projection, dendrite. Perikaryon. Localizes to apical dendrite of pyramidal neurons.
