Abstract excerpt
Ligands of structurally diverse natures are able to bind at the CB(1) cannabinoid receptor, suggesting the existence of multiple binding sites on the receptor. Modeling studies have implicated Ser2.60(173) and Ser7.39(383) as possible interaction site(s) for CB(1) agonists. To test the importance of these residues for receptor recognition, recombinant human CB(1) receptors, stably expressed in human embryonic...
