Functions
  • acylglycerol lipase activity
  • fatty acid amide hydrolase activity
  • carbon-nitrogen ligase activity, with glutamine as amido-N-donor
Processes
  • arachidonic acid metabolic process
  • fatty acid catabolic process
  • small molecule metabolic process
Components
  • cytoskeleton
  • organelle membrane
  • endoplasmic reticulum membrane

General FunctionFatty acid amide hydrolase activity
Specific FunctionDegrades 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.
