Entrez gene ID | | 313 |
Official gene symbol | | AOAH |
Full name | | acyloxyacyl hydrolase (neutrophil) |
Aliases | | ,-, |
Gene summary | | This locus encodes both the light and heavy subunits of acyloxyacyl hydrolase. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of acyloxylacyl-linked fatty acyl chains from bacterial lipopolysaccharides, effectively detoxifying these molecules. The encoded protein may play a role in modulating host inflammatory response to gram-negative bacteria. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. |
