The Endocannabinoid System

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a widespread molecular system that plays important roles in regulating and balancing many physiological pathways in the human body.

ECS affects several vital processes

The ECS is comprised of the cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2), other non- CB1, non-CB2 receptors (e.g. GPR55, GPR18, TRPV1), the endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids),
and the enzymes involved in the synthesis and degradation of the endocannabinoids
(e.g DAGL, MAGL, FAAH).

All these vital processes make the ECS a key target for potential therapies.
