CB1 Cannabinoid receptor is associated with the regulation of cognition, memory, and motor activity. The CB1 receptor mediates cannabinoid-induced CNS effects and the addictive behavior experienced by users of marijuana. Three splice variants that are produced by alternative splicing have been identified for this gene. CB1 has been reported primarily in the brain and, to a lower extent, in peripheral tissues including adrenal, heart, lung, prostate, uterus, ovary, testis, bone marrow, thymus, and tonsil. ESTs have been isolated from brain, embryo, heart/melanocyte/uterus, lung, placenta, testis, tonsil, and vessel libraries.
