Introduction: β-Arrestins are cytosolic proteins, which play key roles in the desensitization, internalization and signaling of G protein-coupled receptors. Currently, little is known about the role of β-arrestins in the internalization of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1R). Therefore, the interaction between β-arrestins and CB1R, and its role in receptor internalization were studied.Materials and methods: The β-arrestin binding of C...
