function:Involved in cannabinoid-induced CNS effects. Acts by inhibiting adenylate cyclase. Could be a receptor for anandamide. Inhibits L-type Ca(2+) channel current. Isoform 2 and isoform 3 have altered ligand binding.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,subunit:Interacts (via C-terminus) with CNRIP1.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed.,
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). .
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.
