N-Acylethanolamines (NAEs) are lipids involved in several physiological processes in
animal and plant cells. In brain, NAEs are ligands of endocannabinoid receptors, which
modulate various signaling pathways. In plant, NAEs regulate seed germination and root
development, and they are involved in plant defense against pathogen attack. This signaling
activity is started by an enzyme called N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE) synthase.
This catalyzes the N-acylation of phosphatidylethanolamine to form NAPE, which is most …
