The cannabinoid receptor type 1 often abbreviated as CB1 is a G protein-coupled cannabinoid receptor located primarily in the central and peripheral nervous system. It is activated by the endocannabinoid neurotransmitters anandamide and 2-arachidonoyl glyceride (2-AG); by plant cannabinoids such as the compound THC an active ingredient of the psychoactive drug cannabis; and by synthetic analogues of THC.
