Biochemical and pharmacological characterization of human α/β-hydrolase domain containing 6 (ABHD6) and 12 (ABHD12)

Journal of Lipid Research, 2012
In the central nervous system, three enzymes belonging to the serine hydrolase family are thought to regulate the life time of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (C20:4) (2-AG). From these, monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is well characterized and,

Stimulatory and Inhibitory Roles of Brain 2-Arachidonoylglycerol in Bombesin-Induced Central Activation of Adrenomedullary Outflow in Rats

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013
2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is recognized as a potent endocannabinoid, which reduces synaptic transmission through cannabinoid CB1 receptors, and is hydrolyzed by monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) to arachidonic acid (AA), a cyclooxygenase substrate.

Inhibitors of monoacylglycerol lipase as novel analgesics [PDF]

British Journal of Pharmacology, 2007
2‐Arachidonoylglycerol (2‐AG) is an endogenous cannabinoid (endocannabinoid) lipid whose functions remain poorly understood. Guindon and colleagues report the novel finding that exogenous application of 2‐AG induces peripheral antinociceptive effects that are mediated, at least in part, by actions at peripheral cannabinoid CB2 receptors.

N-terminal domain replacement changes an archaeal monoacylglycerol lipase into a triacylglycerol lipase

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019
Background Lipolytic enzymes of hyperthermophilic archaea generally prefer small carbon chain fatty acid esters (C2–C12) and are categorized as esterases.

Simplified assays of lipolysis enzymes for drug discovery and specificity assessment of known inhibitors

Journal of Lipid Research, 2016
Lipids are used as cellular building blocks and condensed energy stores and also act as signaling molecules. The glycerolipid/ fatty acid cycle, encompassing lipolysis and lipogenesis, generates many lipid signals.

Monoacylglycerol lipase: stopping surplus at the synapse

The Journal of Physiology, 2011
Endocannabinoids (eCBs) are a family of molecules derived from membrane phospholipids which exert biological effects through specific receptors. In the brain, eCBs are perhaps the most ubiquitous and potent neurotransmitters known to act in a retrograde manner.

Alkali‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Acylglycerol Estolides Exclusively from Castor Oil

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
This work advances sustainable chemistry by converting renewable castor oil into high‐performance estolides via solvent‐free, low‐energy catalysis. ABSTRACT Estolides are oligomers composed of fatty acid (FA) monomers linked through secondary ester bonds located along the mid‐chain region.

Assessment of the effects of CNR1, FAAH and MGLL gene variations on the synthetic cannabinoid use disorder

Türk Biyokimya Dergisi, 2023
Given that drug addiction occurs as a result of complex gene-environment interaction, a number of studies claimed that cannabinoid receptor 1 (CNR1), fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), and monoacylglycerol lipase (MGLL) single nucleotide polymorphisms ...

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial
