Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  Present in human, rat, and mouse brain in amounts comparable to the endocannabinoid anandamide (arachidonoylethanolamide; AEA), stearoylethanolamide (SEA) is an endocannabinoid-like compound with pro-apoptotic activity. Its regulation by NO is reported to be in a manner opposite to that observed for AEA.
