| Bioactivity | 2-Palmitoylglycerol (2-Palm-Gl), an congener of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), is a modest cannabinoid receptor CB1 agonist. 2-Palmitoylglycerol also may be an endogenous ligand for GPR119[1]. | |||||||||
| Invitro | 2-Palmitoylglycerol (2-PG) modestly internalizes CB1 receptor on its own at concentrations as low as 300nM. 2-Palmitoylglycerol behaves as a very modest antagonist in depolarization-induced suppression of excitation (DSE)[1]. | |||||||||
