MedKoo CAT#: 561428

CAS#: 53847-30-6

Description: 2-Arachidonoylglycerol is an endocannabinoid, an endogenous agonist of the CB1 receptor. At a concentration of 0.3nM, 2-Arachidonoylglycerol induces a rapid, transient increase in intracellular free calcium in NG108-15 neuroblastoma X glioma cells through a CB1 receptor-dependent mechanism.
