A skeletal formula depicts anandamide (arachidonoylethanolamide, AEA), an endogenous lipid neurotransmitter. The diagram shows a long polyunsaturated hydrocarbon chain joined by an amide linkage to an ethanolamine head group, with carbon atoms in gray, oxygen in red, nitrogen in blue, and hydrogen in white. In biochemistry and neurophysiology, this small-molecule fatty acid amide functions within the endocannabinoid system, acting at cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) and type 2 (CB2) to modulate synaptic signaling.
