Br. J. Pharmacol. 165:2635-51

Abstract

The CB(1) cannabinoid receptor is regulated by its association with membrane microdomains such as lipid rafts. Here, we investigated the role of palmitoylation of the CB(1) receptor by analysing the functional consequences of site-specific mutation of Cys(415) , the likely site of palmitoylation at the end of helix 8, in terms of membrane association, raft targeting and signalling.

Figure 6c: Alignment was observed between CTBs (lipid rafts)marked with red florescent proteins and the CB1 (cannabinoid receptor 1) marked with GFP. This suggests that CB1 is a membrane bound protein associated with lipid rafts.
