title: Cloning and sequencing of a cDNA encoding the mouse brain-type cannabinoid receptor protein.
abstract: Mouse brain-type cannabinoid receptor (CB1) cDNA was cloned and sequenced. Comparison to rat and human CB1 sequences showed extensive homology (>96%) both at the nucleotide and protein levels implicating the importance of this protein in mammalian brain physiology.
