Endocannabinoids [Part 1] | Biosynthesis of Anandamide & 2-AG

The video tutorial by Kevin Tolkoff introduces endocannabinoids, focusing on their biosynthesis. It explains the synthesis of two major endocannabinoids, anandamide and 2-AG, from phospholipids. The process involves enzymes like NaCl transferase, phospholipase D, and phospholipase C. The tutorial highlights the committed step in endocannabinoid synthesis and the role of calcium in activating NaCl transferase. The video sets the stage for understanding the mechanism of action of endocannabinoids in future videos.
