PPARα is part of the nuclear receptor family and is therefore one of the non-GPCR cannabinoid receptors. PPAR-alpha is a transcription factor and a major regulator of lipid metabolism in the liver. Low energy typically stimulates PPARα, but PPARα has also been implicated in neuroprotection.

NMDA receptors are sensitive to the neurotransmitter glutamate. NMDArs are best known for their function in neurons as coincidence detectors and consequently their role in learning and memory. NMDArs are not classic cannabinoid receptors but their activity is modulated by cannabinoids.

Nav1.5 is a sodium channel that is primarily found in cardiac muscle where it is responsible for action potential generation/cardiac muscle contraction. Nav1.5 is not a classic cannabinoid receptor but its activity is modulated by cannabinoids.

GPR55 is a G protein-coupled receptor which binds with G protein G13. GPR55 stimulates RhoA, Cdc42 and Rac1 upon activation, suggesting a role in cell division and growth.
