KeywordsN-アシルエタノールアミン / アナンダミド / エンドカンナビノイド / 酵素 / 脂質メディエーター / リン脂質 / N-アシルトランスフェラーゼ / リソソーム / 酸素 / アシル基転移酸素 / ホスホリパーゼD
Research Abstract

カンナビノイド受容体の内在性リガンドとして知られるアナンダミドと関連脂肪酸アミド化合物の動物組織における生合成および分解に関与する3種類の酵素の解析を行なった。その結果、(1) 新規N-アシルトランスフェラーゼを発見し、(2) N-アシルホスファチジルエタノールアミン・ホスホリパーゼDのリン脂質による活性化を見出し、(3) N-アシルエタノールアミン酸性アミダーゼの触媒機能に重要なアミノ酸残基を同定するなどの成果を得た。
