Product Specs

Introduction
CB1 cannabinoid receptor-interacting protein 1 (CNRIP1), also known as cannabinoid receptor-interacting protein 1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CNRIP1 gene. CNRIP1 is a member of the CNRIP family and interacts with the C-terminal tail of cannabinoid receptor 1. This interaction suggests a role for CNRIP1 in the regulation of cannabinoid receptor 1 signaling. CNRIP1 is expressed in various tissues, including the brain and testis. Its involvement in appetite, synaptic plasticity, neuroprotection, and analgesia makes it a potential target for therapeutic interventions.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Cannabinoid Receptor Interacting Protein 1 (CNRIP1), also known as CRIP1, is a protein that interacts with the C-terminal tail of the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1). This interaction plays a crucial role in modulating the signaling pathways of CB1 receptors, which are part of the endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system is involved in various physiological processes, including pain sensation, mood regulation, and appetite control.

Gene and Protein Structure

The CNRIP1 gene is located on chromosome 2 and encodes a protein that has two known isoforms . These isoforms differ in their ability to suppress CB1 receptor-mediated tonic inhibition of voltage-gated calcium channels . Isoform 1 suppresses this inhibition, while Isoform 2 does not .

Function and Mechanism

CNRIP1 interacts specifically with the CB1 receptor, which is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) predominantly found in the central nervous system . The interaction between CNRIP1 and CB1 is essential for the regulation of CB1 receptor signaling. This regulation is crucial for maintaining the balance of neurotransmitter release and neuronal excitability .

In the hippocampus, CNRIP1 modulates CB1 receptor activity by enhancing cannabinoid-induced G protein activation . This modulation extends the depression of excitatory currents by cannabinoids in pyramidal neurons, thereby playing a role in controlling excessive neuronal activity .

Clinical Significance

Alterations in the expression of CNRIP1 have been associated with various neurological conditions. For instance, changes in hippocampal CRIP1a levels have been observed following limbic seizures, indicating a potential role in epilepsy . Additionally, CNRIP1 has been linked to Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Mixed Cellularity .

Research and Applications

Research on CNRIP1 is ongoing, with studies focusing on its role in modulating CB1 receptor signaling and its potential therapeutic applications. Understanding the interaction between CNRIP1 and CB1 receptors could lead to the development of new treatments for neurological disorders, including epilepsy, neurodegeneration, and mood disorders .
