General description

Anandamide is an endocannabinoid. It acts as a ligand for cannabinoid (CB) receptors CB1 and CB2 in the brain and peripheral tissues. It is synthesized from glycerophospho-N-arachidonoylethanolamine (GP-NArE) precursor by the reaction catalyzed by glycerophosphodiesterase 1.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anandamide plays a vital role in various processes including inflammation, pain, and appetite.
