    Product Description

    2-O-Hexadecyl Glycerol is a β-monoglyceride of palmitic acid (Item No. 10006627). It is an intermediate in the metabolism of triacylglycerols or diacylglycerols and an analog of 2-palmitoyl glycerol (Item No. 17882), an endocannabinoid that fails to bind to cannabinoid CB1 or CB2 receptors, but rather potentiates the biological effects 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (Item No. 62160).1
