Which statement about the endocannabinoids is false? A) They are synthesized by FAAH. B) They include arachidonic derivatives such as 2-AG and anandamide. C) They are not stored in vesicles. D) They are synthesized and released when needed, probably in response to Ca²⁺.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FAAH (Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase) is involved in the degradation of endocannabinoids like anandamide, not their synthesis. Endocannabinoids such as 2-AG and anandamide are indeed arachidonic acid derivatives, are not stored in vesicles, and are synthesized and released on demand, often in response to increased intracellular calcium levels.
