General description

Anandamide (N-arachidonoyl ethanolamine, NArE, AEA) belongs to a large family of amidated signaling lipids, the N-acyl ethanolamines (NAEs). C20:4 AEA is a 20 carbon length side chain with four double bonds, i.e. the arachidonoyl group in AEA.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anandamide (N-arachidonoyl ethanolamine, NArE, AEA) is a receptor for cannabinoid receptor. AEA functions as a mediator for many physiological processes including inflammation, pain, and appetite. C20:4 AEA is capable of activating vanilloid receptor (VR).

N-Acyl ethanolamines (NAEs) are a large class of signaling lipids implicated in diverse physiological processes, including nociception, cognition, anxiety, appetite, and inflammation. It has been proposed that NAEs are biosynthesized from their corresponding N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamines (NAPEs) in a single enzymatic

Anandamide (AEA) is an endogenous ligand of cannabinoid receptors and a well characterized mediator of many physiological processes including inflammation, pain, and appetite. The biosynthetic pathway(s) for anandamide and its N-acyl ethanolamine (NAE) congeners remain enigmatic. Previously, we proposed an
