We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Crystal structure of fatty acid amide hydrolase
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 21502526
Function
[FAAH1_RAT] Degrades bioactive fatty acid amides like oleamide, the endogenous cannabinoid, anandamide and myristic amide to their corresponding acids, thereby serving to terminate the signaling functions of these molecules. Hydrolyzes polyunsaturated substrate anandamide preferentially as compared to monounsaturated substrates (By similarity).
About this Structure
3qj8 is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Rattus norvegicus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
