Gene information for FAAH2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID158584
Official gene symbolFAAH2
Full namefatty acid amide hydrolase 2
Aliases,AMDD,FLJ31204,
Gene summaryThis 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.
