About Faah

Chromosome 4: 115,824,342-115,875,123 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM000997.3

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 131 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 17 phenotypes. Broad expression in liver adult (RPKM 3.1), duodenum adult (RPKM 29.3) and 22 other tissues.

Summary

Enables acylglycerol Lipase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid catabolic process; monoacylglycerol catabolic process; and positive regulation of vasoconstriction. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid catabolic process. Predicted to be located in organelle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; ganglia; olfactory epithelium; and renal calyx. 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]
