Introduction

Fatty acid amide hydrolase degrades fatty acid amides to terminate their signaling activity. Since fatty acid amides (FAAs) are lipids, they are regulated differently than many other types of neurotransmitters. Because lipids can diffuse through the nonpolar region of membranes, FAAs can't be compartmentalized in vesicles for degredation, as the signaling molecules could easily move out of vesicles. Instead, our bodies must degrade FAAs in the bilayer of cell membranes.
