An Endocannabinoid Catabolic Enzyme Faah and Its Paralogs in an Early Land Plant Reveal Evolutionary and Functional Relationship With Eukaryotic Orthologs
Endocannabinoids were known to exist only among Animalia but recent report of their occurrence in early land plants prompted us to study its function and metabolism. In mammals, anandamide, as an endocannabinoid ligand, mediates several neurological and physiological processes, which are terminated...
