Literature Discussion

GPR3 and GPR6 have been previously linked to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. These receptors share about 35% of amino acid sequence with CB1 and CB2. CBD acts as an inverse agonist for these receptors as it has been shown in a β-arrestin2 recruitment assay (Laun & Song, 2017).
