Used in research to study cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) signaling and function. This cell line is engineered to express the human CNR1 gene, making it a valuable tool for drug discovery, particularly in developing and testing compounds that target the endocannabinoid system. Commonly used in assays to evaluate receptor activation, inhibition, and ligand binding. Supports studies on pain, appetite, mood, and neurological disorders. Enables high-throughput screening of potential therapeutics in a controlled cellular environment.
