GPR55

GPR55 is a protein found in the human body that functions as a receptor, meaning it receives signals from certain molecules. It’s involved in various biological processes, including regulating pain, inflammation, bone health, and blood pressure. Sometimes called an "orphan receptor" because its activating molecules were initially unknown, GPR55 is also linked to conditions like cancer and osteoporosis. Researchers study it to better understand its role and to develop potential therapies for related health issues. Overall, GPR55 is an important part of how our bodies communicate at the cellular level.
