| Research Abstract |
In the present studies we analyzed enzymes involved in the biosynthesis and degradation of N-acylethanolamines(NAEs), which function as lipid mediators in animal tissues. We found that five proteins belonging to the HRASLS tumor suppressor family have acyltransferase activities, which generate N-acyl-phosphatidylethanolamine(NAPE), a precursor of NAE, and that NAE can be formed not only from NAPE but also from N-acyl-plasmenylethanolamine in brain.
