Recent research supports the hypothesis that GPR18 is the abnormal cannabidiol receptor and N-arachidonoyl glycine, the endogenous lipid metabolite of anandamide, initiates directed microglial migration in the CNS through activation of GPR18.[6]
Ligands
Ligands found to bind to GPR18 include:[6][7]
- N-arachidonoyl glycine (NAGly)
- Abnormal cannabidiol (Abn-CBD)
- O-1602
- Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC)
- Anandamide (N-arachidonoyl ethanolamine, AEA)
- Arachidonylcyclopropylamide (ACPA)
