Gene information for AOAH (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID313
Official gene symbolAOAH
Full nameacyloxyacyl hydrolase (neutrophil)
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThis 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.
