2-Arachidonylglycerol

Description:
2-Arachidonylglycerol (2-AG) is a naturally occurring endocannabinoid that plays a crucial role in the endocannabinoid system, which is involved in various physiological processes. It is a glycerolipid derived from arachidonic acid and is characterized by its structure, which includes a glycerol backbone esterified with arachidonic acid at the second carbon position. 2-AG is known for its ability to bind to cannabinoid receptors, particularly CB1 and CB2, influencing neurotransmitter release and modulating pain, appetite, and immune responses. This compound is lipid-soluble and typically found in the brain and other tissues, where it acts as a signaling molecule. Its synthesis occurs through the action of diacylglycerol lipase, while its degradation is mediated by monoacylglycerol lipase. Due to its involvement in various biological processes, 2-AG has garnered interest in research related to neuroprotection, inflammation, and potential therapeutic applications in conditions such as pain and anxiety disorders.
