中文名称：脂肪酸酰胺水解酶 2

种属: Homo sapiens

同用名: AMDD

关于 FAAH2

功能概要

该基因编码一种脂肪酸酰胺水解酶，该酶与酰胺酶特征酶家族共享一个保守的蛋白质基序。编码的酶能够催化广泛的生物活性脂质的水解，包括来自三大类脂肪酸酰胺的那些； N-酰基乙醇胺、脂肪酸伯酰胺和 N-酰基氨基酸。该酶偏爱单不饱和酰基链作为底物。交替剪接导致编码不同异构体的多个转录变体。[RefSeq 提供，2017 年 7 月]

This 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. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]
