Monoacylglycerol lipase reprograms hepatocytes and macrophages to promote liver regeneration [PDF]
JHEP Reports, 2023 Background & Aims: Liver regeneration is a repair process in which metabolic reprogramming of parenchymal and inflammatory cells plays a major role. Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is an ubiquitous enzyme at the crossroad between lipid metabolism and ...

Monoacylglycerol lipase – a target for drug development? [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2012 The endocannabinoid (eCB) system is involved in processes as diverse as control of appetite, perception of pain and the limitation of cancer cell growth and invasion. The enzymes responsible for eCB breakdown are attractive pharmacological targets, and fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitors, which potentiate the levels of the eCB anandamide, are now ...

Arachis hypogaea monoacylglycerol lipase AhMAGL3b participates in lipid metabolism [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) belongs to the serine hydrolase family; it catalyzes MAG to produce glycerol and free fatty acids (FFAs), which is the final step in triacylglycerol (TAG) hydrolysis.
