Overview - 2-Arachidonoyl Glycerol (2-AG)

Description of 2-Arachidonoyl Glycerol (2-AG)

Raphaeal Mechoulam's et al., from the Hebrew University, Israel and T. Sugiura et al., from Teikyo University, Japan described the discovery of a second endogenous cannabinoid subsequently named 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) in 1994-1995.


2-AG is an ester formed from the essential fatty acid omega-6-arachidonic acid and glycerol.


Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is a key enzyme that metabolizes 2-AG.
