The CNR2 gene encodes the Cannabinoid Receptor 2 (CB2), a critical class A G-protein-coupled receptor that acts as a vital component of the human endocannabinoid system. Located on human chromosome 1p36.11, this gene regulates how the body manages inflammation, immune responses, and neuroprotection without producing the typical mind-altering effects linked to the nervous system. Core Biological Functions

The CNR2 gene encodes a 360-amino acid protein that shares roughly 44% sequence similarity with its counterpart, the CNR1 (CB1) receptor. While CNR1 primarily governs psychoactive pathways in the central nervous system, CNR2 specializes in protecting tissue and maintaining balance.
