anti-Diacylglycerol Lipase, alpha (DAGLA) Antibodies

Human Diacylglycerol Lipase, alpha (DAGLA) interaction partners

1. Our findings indicated the involvement of DAGLA in alcoholism, possibly by its genetic dysfunction and also by the influence of stress

2. Overexpression of DAGLA in human oral squamous cell carcinomas cells controlled cell proliferation through cell-cycle progression.

3. phenotypes associated with rare CNR1 variants are reminiscent of those implicated in the theory of clinical endocannabinoid deficiency syndrome. The severe phenotypes associated with rare DAGLA variants underscore the critical role of rapid 2-AG synthesis and the endocannabinoid system in regulating neurological function and development

4. In subcutaneous adipose tissue, DAGL-a mRNA was upregulated and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) mRNAs were down-regulated in obese subjects, but the diets had no influence.

5. PLC-beta1 and DAGL-alpha are detected in discrete brain regions, with a marked predominance of pyramidal morphologies of positive cortical cells.[review]

6. DAGLalpha mRNA expression is lowest in early life and adulthood, peaking between school age and young adulthood.

7. This gene was functionally characterized as a diacylglycerol-lipase (DAGL), specifically referred to as DAGL alpha. This enzyme may play a role in the biosynthesis of the endocannbinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG).

Mouse (Murine) Diacylglycerol Lipase, alpha (DAGLA) interaction partners

1. Results demonstrate that mice with a deletion of the DAGL-alpha enzyme show a phenotype of increased emotional or stress-related behaviors. This is characterized by a reduced exploration of the central area of the open field, a maternal neglect behavior, a fear extinction deficit, increased behavioral despair, increased anxiety-related behaviors in the light/dark box, and reduced hippocampal neurogenesis

2. Authors demonstrated that phospholipase D and diacylglycerol lipase were required for providing arachidonic acid for prostaglandin E(2) biosynthesis.

3. In corpus striatum diacylglycerol lipase-alpha activity is regulated by calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase (CaMK-II).

4. Endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol produced by DGLalpha, but not by DGLbeta, mediates retrograde suppression at central synapses.

5. DAGLalpha is the major biosynthetic enzyme for 2-AG in the nervous system and reveal an essential role for this enzyme in regulating retrograde synaptic plasticity and adult neurogenesis.
