“…In situ hybridization has been used to assess the distribution of MAGL mRNA expression in the brain, showing good agreement of brain regions expressing the CB1R and MAGL (Dinh et al, 2002). MAGL is found in presynaptic terminals (Gulyas et al, 2004; Horvath et al, 2014; Suarez et al, 2008) and enzymatic activity is enriched in synaptosomal preparations (Farooqui & Horrocks, 1997; Vyvoda & Rowe, 1973). A recent study provides evidence that MAGL is expressed in astrocytes as well as neurons; and astrocytic MAGL contributes to overall regulation of brain 2-AG content (Viader et al, 2015).…”
