FIGURE: 1 / 2
IHC (P) analysis shows positive staining of GPR18 in human enteric ganglion tissue.
WB analysis shows GPR18 in glycoprotein-enriched fractions from GPR18 overexpressing 293 cells. A band of similar MW was also detected in GPR3 overexpressing 293 cells, suggesting some cross-reactivity with GPR3 or enhanced detection of basal GPR18 in the enriched fractions.
While GPR18 has a theoretical MW of ~ 38kD, the observed band in a WB runs at ~70kD due to enrichment of the glycosylated receptor.
The G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily is comprised of an estimated 600-1,000 members and is the largest known class of molecular targets with proven therapeutic value. GPR18 is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor found at high levels in the testis, small intestines and cells associated with the immune system including lymphocytes, thymus and spleen. GPR18 has been found to be a receptor for endogenous lipid neurotransmitters, several of which also bind to cannabinoid receptors. Some ligands described to be GPR18 agonists or partial agonists include N-Arachidonoylglycine, Abnormal cannabidiol, O-1602, AM-251, Cannabidiol, delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol, N-arachidonoyl ethanolamine and Arachidonylcyclopropylamide. Antagonists include the synthetic cannabidiol related compounds CID-85469571 and O-1918.
