Description
Endocannabinoids, such as arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA) and 2-Arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG), function as short-range modulators of cell and synaptic activity. Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) hydrolyzes 2-AG to terminate its biological actions and works consecutively with hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) to mobilize fatty acids from the triglyceride stores of adipocytes.{11364,11436} MAGL has a molecular weight of ~33 kDa and exhibits a high degree of homology among human, mouse, and rat at the amino acid level.{11364,11436,5105,10671} The enzyme is expressed in a variety of tissues with most abundant expression in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, suggesting a role of MAGL in monoglyceride hydrolysis in diverse tissues. Cayman Chemical’s MAGL polyclonal antibody can be used for western blot and immunohistochemical (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue) analysis for MAGL on samples of human, mouse, rat, and bovine origin. Other applications for use of this antibody have not yet been tested.
