Differential Expression of Functional Cannabinoid Receptors in Human Bladder Detrusor and Urothelium

Abstract

Together these findings suggest a physiological role of cannabinoid 1 and 2 receptors in the human bladder. Moreover, these results confirm the presence of functional cannabinoid 1 and 2 receptors in the human bladder, which can serve as a target for drugs acting on symptoms of interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome.
