Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP02888
Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 8395
Name Fatty-acid amide hydrolase 1
Synonyms
  1. Anandamide amidohydrolase 1
  2. Oleamide hydrolase 1
Gene Name FAAH
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in carbon-nitrogen ligase activity, with glutamine as amido-N-donor
Specific Function Degrades bioactive fatty acid amides like oleamide, the endogenous cannabinoid, anandamide and myristic amide to their corresponding acids, thereby serving to terminate the signaling functions of these molecules. Hydrolyzes polyunsaturated substrate anandamide preferentially as compared to monounsaturated substrates.
Pathways
  • Retrograde endocannabinoid signaling
