Target Details for GPR55

Target: GPR55 (G Protein-Coupled Receptor 55 (GPR55))

Alternative Name: GPR55

Background: G-Protein Coupled Receptor 55,G protein coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) is a cannabinoid receptor activated by a number of endo-, phyto- and synthetic cannabinoid ligands such as THC, JWH015 and anandamide1-3.GPR55 is only 13.5 % identical to the canonic cannabinoid receptor CB1 and 14.4 % identical to CB2. Upon ligand binding, it initiates a signaling cascade quite distinct from those used by CB1 and CB2 that eventually leads to an increase in intracellular calcium levels. GPR55 belongs to the Class A GPCRs. It shares many similarities with rhodopsin and as all other G-protein coupled receptors in its basic structure of seven transmembrane domains, intracellular C- terminus and extracellular N-terminal extensions4. The protein is highly expressed in large dorsal root ganglion neurons and its mRNA is present in the brain and periphery1.GPR55 has a role in self-renewing adult neural stem cell development and in hippocampal neurogenesis3. Experiments with mice in which GPR55 has been inactivated reveal a role for this receptor in neuropathic and inflammatory pain as well as in bone physiology. Thus deciphering the pharmacology of this receptor could lead to new therapeutics in these fields5.
