UniProt data
UniProt name: FAAH1_HUMAN (O00519)
Gene name: FAAH; Synonyms=FAAH1
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17015445}.
Subcellular location: Endomembrane system {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17015445}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17015445}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17015445}. Note=Seems to be attached to intracellular membranes and a portion of the cytoskeletal network.
Transmembrane domains:
- 9-29, 21 AA, Helical. {ECO:0000255}.
Sequence: 579 AA
