Replaces Prod. #: ALX-340-055
Endogenous anandamide-like compound. Lacks affinity for CB1 receptors (Ki>10µM), TRPV1 (EC50>10µM) and anandamide uptake (IC50>50µM), but inhibits fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (IC50=8.5µM-50µM, depending on cell type and species). Displays anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. Identified as an insulin secretagogue in a primary β-cell-based functional assay. Represents a new class of "lipoamino acids".
