AMC arachidonoyl amide (AMC-AA) is one of several fatty acid amides which can be used to measure fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) activity.1 FAAH is a relatively unselective enzyme in that it accepts a variety of amide head groups other than the ethanolamine of its nominal endogenous substrate anandamide.2 Exposure of AMC-AA to FAAH activity results in the release of the fluorescent aminomethyl coumarin that absorbs at 360 nm and emits at 465 nm. This allows the fast and convenient measurement of FAAH activity using a simple cuvette or microplate fluorometer.
