Several different arachidonoyl amino acids, including N-arachidonoyl dopamine (NADA) and N-arachidonoyl serine (ARA-S), have been isolated and characterized from bovine brain. During mass spectral lipidomic analysis of rat brain, a series of fatty acyl amides of a third amino acid, taurine, was discovered. N-Palmitoyl taurine is a prominent amino-acyl endocannabinoid isolated from rat brain during lipidomics profiling. Its function is currently under investigation.

N-Palmitoyl Taurine is a prominent amino-acyl endocannabinoid.

ChEBI: N-hexadecanoyltaurine is a fatty acid-taurine conjugate derived from hexadecanoic acid. It has a role as a mouse metabolite. It is functionally related to a hexadecanoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a N-hexadecanoyltaurine(1-).
