General description
Anandamide is an endocannabinoid. It acts as a ligand for cannabinoid (CB) receptors CB1 and CB2 in the brain and peripheral tissues. It is synthesized from glycerophospho-N-arachidonoylethanolamine (GP-NArE) precursor by the reaction catalyzed by glycerophosphodiesterase 1.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Anandamide plays a vital role in various processes including inflammation, pain, and appetite.

Anandamide (AEA) is an endogenous ligand of cannabinoid receptors and a well characterized mediator of many physiological processes including inflammation, pain, and appetite. The biosynthetic pathway(s) for anandamide and its N-acyl ethanolamine (NAE) congeners remain enigmatic. Previously, we proposed an
