Gene information for ABHD12 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID26090
Official gene symbolABHD12
Full nameabhydrolase domain containing 12
Aliases,ABHD12A,BEM46L2,C20orf22,DKFZp434P106,dJ965G21.2,
Gene summaryThe endocannabinoid lipid transmitter 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) acts on cannabinoid receptors CB1 (CNR1; MIM 114610) and CB2 (CNR2; MIM 605051) and functions in synaptic plasticity and neuroinflammation. ABHD12 inactivates 2-AG by converting it into the metabolites arachidonate and glycerol (Fiskerstrand et al., 2010 [PubMed 20797687]).[supplied by OMIM]
