PRIMARY STUDY

Lack of Cannabinoid Type 2 Promoter Activity in Normal or Injured Kidneys Using a Cnr2-GFP Reporter Mouse

Key Findings:  This mouse study found that endogenous cannabinoid receptor 2 (Cnr2) promoter activity is minimally active in the kidney, and that manipulation of CB2 receptors may be associated with receptors being expressed in cells recruited to the kidney.

Research Location(s):  Spain, United States

Year of Pub:  2024


Cannabinoids Studied:  Endocannabinoid (unspecified)
