Gene ID: 11057 | Gene type: protein coding

About ABHD2

Cytogenetic location: 15q26.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 15:89,088,456-89,202,355 (from NCBI)

This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 271 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in liver (RPKM 19.2), stomach (RPKM 14.4) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a protein containing an alpha/beta hydrolase fold, which is a catalytic domain found in a wide range of enzymes. The encoded protein is an acylglycerol Lipase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of endocannabinoid arachidonoylglycerol from the cell membrane. This leads to activation of the sperm Calcium Channel CatSper, which results in sperm activation. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding the same protein.
