About ABHD12

Cytogenetic location: 20p11.21 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 20:25,294,743-25,390,835 (from NCBI)

This gene has 24 transcripts (splice variants), 189 orthologues, 7 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 21.6), brain (RPKM 16.2) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes an Enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG), the main endocannabinoid lipid transmitter that acts on cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2. The endocannabinoid system is involved in a wide range of physiological processes, including neurotransmission, mood, appetite, pain appreciation, addiction behavior, and inflammation. Mutations in this gene are associated with the neurodegenerative disease, PHARC (polyneuropathy, hearing loss, ataxia, retinitis pigmentosa, and cataract), resulting from an inborn error of endocannabinoid metabolism. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]
