Monoacylglycerol Lipase (MAGL) is a serine hydrolase that is essential in catalyzing the hydrolysis of monoglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids. By converting the plentiful endocannabinoid 2-arachidaoylglycerol into arachidonic acid, the precursor of prostaglandins and other inflammatory mediators, MAGL connects the endocannabinoid and eicosanoid systems.
MAGL is a key enzyme that regulates the levels of 2-AG, an important lipid with a variety of neuroprotective effects; ii) when MAGL is inactive, 2-AG levels in the brain are elevated and AA levels are decreased, which reduces the production of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins, which reduces neuroinflammation; and iii) MAGL controls the levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) in aggressive cancer cells, and this MAGL-promote MAGL is becoming a potentially effective drug target for a number of diseases.
