Applications
GPR119 agonist; stimulates lipolysis
Functions
Endogenous anandamide-like lipid acting as a PPARα agonist but does not bind to cannabinoid receptors. Biosynthesis via the action of NAPE-PLD on N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine. Agonist at GPR119 and has been suggested to be its endogenous ligand. Inhibits food intake in rodents. Extends the lifespan of C. elegans.
