Biochem/physiol Actions

MAFP is a selective, irreversible inhibitor of both calcium-dependent and calcium-independent cytosolic phospholipase A2, but not secretory phospholipase A2. MAFP is also a potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

Preparation Note

To change the solvent, evaporate the methyl acetate under a gentle stream of nitrogen and immediately add the solvent of choice.

Ghrelin is a small peptide hormone that undergoes a unique posttranslational modification, serine octanoylation, to play its physiological roles in processes including hunger signaling and glucose metabolism. Ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT) catalyzes this posttranslational modification, which is essential for ghrelin to

The serine hydrolase monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for the degradation of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) into arachidonic acid and glycerol. Inhibition of 2-AG degradation leads to elevation of 2-AG, the most abundant endogenous agonist of the
