| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Arachidonoyl glycine (N-arachidonyl glycine; NAGly) has been isolated from cell cultures treated with arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA; anandamide), from extracts of mammalian brain, and has also been synthesized as an analog of AEA for structure/activity testing. NAGly may be produced endogenously via oxidation of AEA, or by transacylation of arachidonoyl CoA. NAGly is reported to have analgesic activities in whole animal experiments. Since it seems to be a very poor ligand for the CB1 receptor, these effects are probably mediated via other signaling pathways. | [Uses]
An endogenous anandamide-like compound; also acts as a T-type Ca2+ channel blocker and an endogenous GLYT2 inhibitor. | [Uses]

ChEBI:N-arachidonoylglycine is biologically active derivative of anandamide It is a N-acylglycine and a fatty amide. It is functionally related to an arachidonic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a N-arachidonoylglycinate. | [Biological Activity]
Endogenous anandamide-like compound. Lacks affinity for CB 1 receptors (K i > 10 μ M), VR1 receptors (EC 50 > 10 μ M) and anandamide transporters (IC 50 > 50 μ M) but causes hot-plate analgesia in mice when given orally, and suppresses tonic inflammatory pain. Also endogenous GlyT2 inhibitor. | [storage]
Store at -80°C | [References]
