How do endocannabinoids travel in and out of cells?
Endocannabinoids use a variety of different ways to concentrate themselves in and out of cells that go beyond simply binding to receptors.
FAAH – The enzyme that breaks down Anandamide
FAAH is an enzyme that breaks down Anandamide, making it a crucial component of the endocannabinoid system that can affect the duration of THC’s effects.
TRPV1: The Paradoxical Pain Receptors of The Endocannabinoid System
TRPV1 help to relay pain signals to your brain. Cannabinoids activate TRPV1 and help to reduce pain by overwhelming the receptors and forcing them to rest.
MAGL (Monoacylglycerol Lipase): An Endocannabinoid Recylcing Enzyme
MAGL (Monoacylglycerol Lipase) is an endocannabinoid recycling enzyme that breakds down 2-AG into arachadonic acid and glycerol.
2-AG (2-arachidonoylglycerol): The Endocannabinoid Of Balance
While difficult to tease apart its specific impacts, 2-AG (2-arachidonoylglycerol) works inside the endocannabinoid system to achieve homeostasis.
CB2 receptors: Immune Support Within The Endocannabinoid System
CB2 receptors are found predominantly throughout the body and help the endocannabinoid system prepare an immune response, especially near wounds.
