CNRIP1: Proteins and Enzymes

CNRIP1 encodes a G-protein coupled receptor which interacts with the C-terminal tail of cannabinoid receptor 1. This receptor plays a role in synaptic plasticity, analgesia, appetite, and neuroprotection. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. Transcript Variant: This variant (CRIP1a) represents the longer transcript and encodes the longer isoform (CRIP1a).
