Cannabinoid Receptor 2, Control Peptide (CB2)

Cannabinoids, a group of C21 compounds present in Cannabis sativa L., their carboxylic acids, analogs, and transformation products, are the active ingredients found in hasish and marihuana. (-)-trans-D9-tetrahydrocannabinol (D9-THC) is the major psychopharmacologically active component of cannabis. Cannabis affect cognition and memory, euphoria and sedation, and antinociception (analgesia) without the respiratory depression problems associated with opioid analgesics. D9-THC is also immunosuppressive and impairs cell-mediated immunity, humoral immunity and cellular defenses against a variety of infectious agents both in vivo and in vitro. To date, two sub-types of the G-protein coupled cannabinoid receptor, CB1 and CB2, have been identified. The first brain-derived endogenous cannabinoids, an unsaturated fatty-acid ethanolamide, arachidonylethanolamide (AEA, also called anandamide) was found in brain. AEA has higher affinity for the CB1 than for the CB2.\n\nAn 18 amino acid peptide sequence near the cytoplasmic, C-terminus of rat CB2 Cannabinoid Receptor 2. Peptide sequence is 88% conserved in mouse, and 82% in human CB2. No significant sequence homology exists with CB1.\n\nControl Peptide for C1075-75 and C1075-75F\n\nApplication(s): \nELISA: 1:10,000-1:100,000 using 50-100 ng of control peptide/well\n\nStorage and Stability:\nLyophilized powder is stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C Reconstituted product must be stored in aliquots at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
