Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  FAAH Carbon Filtration Assay
Description:  [3H]anandamide was incubated with membranes to produce radiolabeled ethanolamine and unlabeled arachidonic acid. Charcoal selectively binds anandamide and arachidonic acid, but not ethanolamine. Uncleaved [3H] anandamide and the unlabeled arachidonic acid are absorbed by the charcoal. In contrast, the labeled [3H] ethanolamine flows through the charcoal minicolumns. The plates can then be read on a Hewlett-Packard TopCount.
