Background: Monoglyceride Lipase

Monoacylglycerol lipase, also known as MAG lipase and MGLL, is a member of the serine hydrolase superfamily with the typical serine hydrolase catalytic triad (1). It converts monoacylglycerides to free fatty acids and glycerol. An important physiological process performed by MGLL is the breakdown of the endocannabinoid 2‑arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) by hydrolysis to provide the arachidonic acid precursor for pro‑inflammatory eicosanoid synthesis (2). MGLL knock‑out mice exhibited enhanced learning and improved performance in novel object recognition due the increased level of 2‑AG (3). In Alzheimer’s disease, inactivation of MGLL suppressed accumulation of b‑amyloid and reduced the expression of b‑site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) (4).
