Product Description: Several different arachidonoyl amino acids, including N-arachidonoyl dopamine and N-arachidonoyl serine, have been isolated and characterized from bovine brain.1 During mass spectral lipidomics analysis of rat brain, a series of fatty acyl amides of a third amino acid, taurine, were discovered.2 This novel class of compounds is present in kidney and activates members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of calcium channels.3 N-Oleoyl taurine is an amino-acyl endocannabinoid isolated from rat brain that may activate TRPV1 and TRPV4.
Applications: Metabolism-protein/nucleotide metabolism
