Difference between 2-Arachidonoylglycerol and Anandamide

2-Arachidonoylglycerol vs. Anandamide

2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is an endocannabinoid, an endogenous agonist of the CB1 receptor and the primary endogenous ligand for the CB2 receptor. Anandamide, also known as N-arachidonoylethanolamine or AEA, is a fatty acid neurotransmitter derived from the non-oxidative metabolism of eicosatetraenoic acid (arachidonic acid) an essential ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid.

Similarities between 2-Arachidonoylglycerol and Anandamide

2-Arachidonoylglycerol and Anandamide have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agonist, Arachidonic acid, Endocannabinoid transporter, Fatty acid amide hydrolase, Fatty acid-binding protein, Heat shock protein, Hsp70, Phospholipase C, Raphael Mechoulam.

Agonist

An agonist is a chemical that binds to a receptor and activates the receptor to produce a biological response.
