About Faah

Primary_assembly 5: 129,479,824-129,498,677 reverse strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026978.1

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 131 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 6 phenotypes. Biased expression in Liver (RPKM 24.3), Brain (RPKM 57.9) and 6 other tissues.

Summary

Enables several functions, including acylglycerol Lipase activity; hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in linear amides; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in fatty acid catabolic process; monoacylglycerol catabolic process; and positive regulation of vasoconstriction. Located in organelle membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity and substance-related disorder. Orthologous to human FAAH (fatty acid amide hydrolase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
