Official gene symbol | | FAAH2 |
Full name | | fatty acid amide hydrolase 2 |
Aliases | | ,AMDD,FLJ31204, |
Gene summary | | This gene encodes a fatty acid amide hydrolase that shares a conserved protein motif with the amidase signature family of enzymes. The encoded enzyme is able to catalyze the hydrolysis of a broad range of bioactive lipids, including those from the three main classes of fatty acid amides; N-acylethanolamines, fatty acid primary amides and N-acyl amino acids. This enzyme has a preference for monounsaturated acyl chains as a substrate. |
