2-Monoolein (2-Oleoylglycerol) is used as a GPR119 agonist than regulates GLP-1 release. 2-Monoolein may be used to differentiate and study the kinetics of monoacylglycerol lipase(s).

Dietary fat is thought to stimulate release of incretin hormones via activation of fatty acid receptors in the intestine. However, dietary fat (triacylglycerol) is digested to 2-monoacylglycerol and fatty acids. Activation of G protein-coupled receptor 119 (GPR119) stimulates glucagon-like peptide-1
In the present study, the abilities of cyclooxygenated derivatives of 1-arachidonoylglycerol and related compounds to prevent the metabolism of [3H]2-oleoylglycerol and [3H]anandamide by cytosolic and membrane fractions, respectively, have been investigated. For each compound, nine concentrations (range 0.2-100 microM) were
The human Caco-2 cell line is a common in vitro model of the intestinal epithelial barrier. As the intestine is a major interface in cholesterol turnover and represents a non-biliary pathway for cholesterol excretion, Caco-2 cells are also a valuable

Acyl coenzyme A:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) is one of the four intestinal membrane bound acyltransferases implicated in dietary fat absorption. Recently, it was found that, in addition to acylating diacylglycerol (DAG), DGAT1 also possesses robust enzymatic activity for acylating monoacylglycerol

Two compounds, URB602 and URB754, have been reported in the literature to be selective inhibitors of monoacylglycerol lipase, although a recent study has questioned their ability to prevent 2-arachidonoyl hydrolysis by brain homogenates and cerebellar membranes. In the present study
