2-Oleoylglycerol (2OG) is a monoacylglycerol that is found in biologic tissues.
Its synthesis is derived from diacylglycerol precursors.
It is metabolized to oleic acid and glycerol primarily by the enzyme monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL).
[2] 2OG has been shown to increase glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) levels following administration to the small intestine.
[2] 2OG has also been discovered to potentiate G protein and not β-arrestin signaling via allosteric binding of the 5-HT2A receptor.
