    protein involved in immune response and inflammation regulation

    Cannabinoid Receptor Type 2 (CB2 receptor) is a protein found primarily in the immune system and peripheral tissues. It plays a crucial role in modulating inflammation and immune responses. Unlike its counterpart, the CB1 receptor, which is mainly located in the brain and central nervous system, CB2 receptors are less associated with psychoactive effects and are being studied for their potential therapeutic benefits in conditions like chronic pain, autoimmune diseases, and even hair growth disorders.
