N-Acetylethanolamine (CAS 142-26-7)
QUICK LINKS
N-Acetylethanolamine is a compound that functions as a precursor in the biosynthesis of N-acylethanolamines, which are lipid signaling molecules involved in various physiological processes. It is involved in the regulation of cellular functions and the modulation of neurotransmitter release. N-Acetylethanolamine acts as a substrate for the enzyme N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine-specific phospholipase D (NAPE-PLD), which catalyzes the formation of N-acylethanolamines. N-Acetylethanolamine plays a role in the endocannabinoid system, where it is converted into N-acylethanolamines that can act as endocannabinoids. Through its involvement in the biosynthesis of lipid signaling molecules, N-Acetylethanolamine contributes to the regulation of various physiological and cellular processes. Its mechanism of action involves enzymatic conversion and subsequent participation in signaling pathways related to neurotransmission and cellular function.
